Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of the present study was to obtain the first data for the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PIK3CA) mutation frequency among nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in Turkey. All exons of the PIK3CA gene were investigated by sequence analysis in 40 NSCLC tumor tissue samples. RESULTS: The 1634A>C mutation, which has previously been identified in many cancers including NSCLC, was...
