## Abstract The PI3KβAKT pathway is activated in a variety of human cancers, resulting in disturbance of cell growth, proliferation and survival. Among the factors affecting the pathway, the __KβRas__ mutation and __PIK3CA__ mutation are the most common oncogenic alterations in colorectal cancer. W
## Abstract Mutation of __PIK3CA__, the gene coding for the p110Ξ± catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3βkinase (PI3K), has been reported in a limited range of human tumors. We now report that __PIK3CA__ is also mutated in esophageal tumors. Singleβstrand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and den
