Abstract excerpt
Mutations of RAS, RAF, and PTEN, all important members of the RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT cascades, are reported in a variety of human tumors, including melanomas and endometrial cancer. In endometrial cancer, mutually exclusive mutations of PTEN and KRAS have been reported. On the other hand, mutation of BRAF is highly frequent, and mutually exclusive mutations of BRAF and NRAS have also been reported in melanomas. In...
