Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway plays a vital role in cancer development and progression. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between genotype variants in mTORC1 pathway and the risk of brain metastasis (BM) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: We extracted genomic DNA from blood samples of 501 NSCLC patients and genotyped eight...
