Abstract excerpt
The frequently altered phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of cellular processes required for breast carcinogenesis. The aim of the project was to develop a method to identify hotspot mutations in the PIK3CA gene in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of metastatic breast cancer (metBC) patients. From 44 enrolled CTC-positive metBC patients a total number of 57...
