Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors usually driven by the mutational activation of receptor tyrosine kinases, KIT, or PDGFRA. Oncogenic activation of phosphatidylinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), a downstream effector in the KIT signaling pathway, has been identified in different types of cancer, with the PI3K 110α subunit encoded by PIK3CA being a common mutational target. In this study, the...
