Activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in Merkel cell carcinoma.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive skin cancer with an increasing incidence. The understanding of the molecular carcinogenesis of MCC is limited. Here, we scrutinized the PI3K/AKT pathway, one of the major pathways activated in human cancer, in MCC. Immunohistochemical analysis of...
