Abstract
This study presents an evaluation of pemigatinib, a selective inhibitor of FGFR1-3, in the management of recurrent FGFR3 fusion glioblastoma, underlining its potential as a precision therapy. Introduced in a 53-year-old man after standard therapies failed and genomic profiling identified an FGFR3-TACC3 fusion, pemigatinib induced a partial disease response and neurological improvement but also posed a financial burden. The case emphasizes the role of precision medicine in neuro-oncology, and supports further research into the integration of pemigatinib into glioblastoma treatment protocols.
