PIK3CA mutations as prognostic factor in squamous cell lung carcinoma

Abstract: Our results indicate that PIK3CA mutations may confer a survival advantage in early stage squamous cell lung cancers, but further work is needed to confirm this finding.

“…Recent studies have found that TP53 gene mutations may generate the same results in patients with NSCLC (3133). PIK3CA encodes the type I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase p110 α catalytic subunit (34) and is important for the development of NSCLC. PIK3CA phosphorylates the EGFR bypass pathway, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, to activate downstream signaling that promotes the proliferation, survival, adhesion and differentiation of tumor cells (35).…”

“…Associations between PIK3CA mutations and outcomes have shown conflicting results in the literature. PIK3CA mutations have demonstrated association with improved overall survival in squamous cell lung cancer and breast cancer [6] , [7] yet decreased progression-free survival in lung adenocarcinoma [8] . In a study by Boros et al [9] , next generation sequencing was performed on 57 patients with locally advanced NSCLC for EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, NRAS, and ALK with 1 patient (2%) expressing a PIK3CA mutation.…”

“…Based on previous studies, PIK3CA mutation occurred more in lung squamous cell carcinoma with a frequency of 11.4% [ 23 ] than in lung adenocarcinoma with a frequency of 2.8% [ 24 ]. The most common mutation hotspots of the PIK3CA gene are located in the helical domain, especially E545K and E542K on exon 9, and the less frequent mutation hotspots of PIK3CA are located in the kinase domain like H1047R on exon 20 [ 29 ].…”
