Abstract excerpt
Phosphoinositide kinases (PIKs) are a group of lipid kinases that are important upstream activators of various signaling pathways that drive oncogenesis. Hyperactivation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways-either via mutations or genomic amplification-confers key oncogenic activity, essential for the development and progression of several solid tumors. Alterations in the PIK3CA gene are associated with poor prognosis...
