Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common malignancy of the bile duct and patients with GBC have extremely poor prognoses. PIK3CA, which encodes the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) subunit p110α, is frequently mutated in many cancers, including GBC. The function of the E545K mutation in GBC is not fully understood. METHODS: E545K mutation was determined in human GBC tissues by targeted...
