Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway has been implicated in resistance to cisplatin. In the current study, we determined whether common genetic variations in this pathway are associated with platinum-based chemotherapy response and clinical outcome in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS: Seven common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in core genes of this pathway were...
