Tumor Induced Oncogenic Osteomalacia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Molecular Pathways Involved in the Pathogenesis and Behavior of Mesenchymal Phosphaturic Tumors
The tumors that cause oncogenic osteomalacia (TIO) express and release in the circulation
phosphaturic factors such as fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) that decrease renal
phosphate absorption through acting in the proximal renal tubule and decreasing Type 2a and
2c sodium-phosphate co-transporter. They typically follow a benign clinical course and even
in the rare malignant cases, local recurrence occurs in less than 5% and distant metastasis
are very uncommon.
In this study we aim to investigate the role of other molecular pathways such as ERK1, ERK2,
mTOR, EGFR, MEK1, MEK2, VEGFR3, AKT1, AKT2, IGFR-1, IGFR-2, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, cMET, FGFR2,
apart from FGF23, KLOTHO and PHEX, in the behavior of histopathologically benign mesenchymal
phosphaturic tumors.
