Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Cervical cancer is one of the most frequent malignant tumours in women. The PI3K/Akt pathway plays a role in chemoresistance to platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in the PI3K/Akt pathway and chemotherapeutic outcomes following platinum-based NAC in Northwestern Chinese Han patients with squamous cervical...
