The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic relevance of PIK3CA mutations in Chinese patients with surgically resected cervical cancer. PIK3CA mutations were screened in 771 cervical cancer specimens using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. In total, 13.6% (105 of 771) of patients harbored non-synonymous PIK3CA mutations. Patients harboring PIK3CA mutations were older than patients with wild-type PIK3CA (mean age: 50.7 years vs ...[more]
