Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Signaling through the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway is responsible for balancing cell survival and apoptosis. Accordingly, the present study analyzed 14 SNPs of the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway genes and their impact on the prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS: 444 consecutive patients with surgically resected colorectal adenocarcinoma were enrolled in the present study. The genomic DNA...
