Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is defined by the near universal occurrence of KRAS mutations. The KRASG12R mutation is detected in approximately 15% to 20% of patients with PDAC and rare in other KRAS-mutant cancers. KRASG12R is unable to activate the lipid kinase PIK3CA, suggesting that alternative mechanisms might be employed to activate KRASG12R-independent PI3K signaling in PDAC. In this study, we...
