- Description
- An Italian study of 163 malignant breast tumors assessed the association between PIK3CA mutations and clinical outcome. Of the 163 tumors sequenced, 118 had wild-type (wt) PIK3CA, 24 had exon 9 (helical domain) missense mutations, and 21 had exon 20 (kinase domain) missense mutations. The study found that patients with exon 20 mutations showed significantly better 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year disease free survival (DFS) compared to patients with wt PIK3CA (P=.011 and P = .01, respectively). Furthermore, patients with exon 20 mut showed especially better OS and DFS than patients with exon 9 mutations (P=.0018 and P=.0017, respectively). The 21 cases with exon 20 mutations had excellent prognosis with no recurrences or deaths, whereas there were 10 recurrences and 9 deaths among the 24 cases of exon 9 mutations, in observed period.
