Journal ArticleDOI

Detection and quantification of mutations in the plasma of patients with colorectal tumors.

TL;DR: Patients with advanced colorectal cancers consistently contained mutant adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) DNA molecules in their plasma, which has implications for the mechanisms through which tumor DNA is released into the circulation and for diagnostic tests based on this phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PIK3CA gene is mutated with high frequency in human breast cancers

TL;DR: It is shown that thirteen of fifty-three breast cancers contain somatic mutations in PIK3CA, with the majority of mutations located in the kinase domain, demonstrating that Pik3CA is the most mutated oncogene in breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colorectal cancer: mutations in a signalling pathway.

TL;DR: Analysis of human colorectal cancers for genetic mutations in 340 serine/threonine kinases found mutations in eight genes, including three members of the phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) pathway, which may provide new targets for therapeutic intervention.
