Exploiting the PI3K/AKT Pathway for Cancer Drug Discovery

TL;DR: Recent studies indicate that numerous components of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway are targeted by amplification, mutation and translocation more frequently than any other pathway in cancer patients, with resultant activation of the pathway.

Human breast cancer: correlation of relapse and survival with amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene

TL;DR: Amplification of the HER-2/neu gene was a significant predictor of both overall survival and time to relapse in patients with breast cancer, and had greater prognostic value than most currently used prognostic factors in lymph node-positive disease.
