Frequency of mesenchymal‐epithelial transition factor gene (MET) and the catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide‐3‐kinase (PIK3CA) copy number elevation and correlation with outcome in patients with early stage breast cancer

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The current study was conducted to determine the frequency and association between recurrence-free survival (RFS) and MET and catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PIK3CA) copy number elevations in patients with early stage breast cancer. METHODS: Tumor DNA was extracted from 971 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded early breast cancers for molecular inversion probes arrays. Data were segmented...
