Genomic gain of PIK3CA and increased expression of p110alpha are associated with progression of dysplasia into invasive squamous cell carcinoma
9 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
PIK3CA, encoding the catalytic subunit p110alpha of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), is activated in malignant diseases. However, the role of the PIK3CA gene aberrations for tumourigenesis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is to date unclear. The present study was designed to determine the genomic aberration of PIK3CA in invasive HNSCC and dysplastic precursor lesions by fluorescence in situ...
