Frequent Mutational Activation of the PI3K-AKT Pathway in Trastuzumab-Resistant Breast Cancer
23 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: HER2-amplified breast cancer is sometimes clinically insensitive to HER2-targeted treatment with trastuzumab. Laboratory models of resistance have causally implicated changes in HER2 expression and activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathway. We conducted a prospective tissue acquisition study to determine if there is evidence for these lesions in metastatic tumors that have progressed...
