AIM: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) survival pathways are frequently activated in the progression of gastrointestinal malignancies. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of gene mutations in members of these pathways--Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA and MLK3 in a series of 63 gastric carcinomas with high levels of...
