Dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors: does p53 modulate response?

Clin Cancer Res. 2013 Jul 15;19(14):3719-21. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-13-1291. Epub 2013 Jun 5.

Abstract

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas have multiple genetic alterations that can influence clinical response to treatment. It is important to evaluate how distinct alterations affect response to targeted agents to identify a subset of patients who can benefit from therapy, improving survival and decreasing toxicity.
