The Predictive and Prognostic Role of RAS–RAF–MEK–ERK Pathway Alterations in Breast Cancer: Revision of the Literature and Comparison with the Analysis of Cancer Genomic Datasets

Abstract excerpt

Although gene alterations of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway are uncommon in breast cancer, this pathway is frequently activated in breast tumors, implying its role in tumor progression. We describe, after a revision of the literature, the frequency and types of gene alterations affecting this pathway in breast cancer by analyzing some public datasets from cBioPortal. Moreover, we consider their prognostic and...
