Open AccessMultiple PIK3CA mutation clonality correlates with outcomes in taselisib + fulvestrant-treated ER+/HER2–, PIK3CA-mutated breast cancers
Mutations in the p110α catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), encoded by the PIK3CA gene, cause dysregulation of the PI3K pathway in 35–40% of patients with HR+/HER2– breast cancer. Preclinica...

Open AccessCobimetinib in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors (iMATRIX-cobi): A Multicenter, Phase I/II Study
The MAPK pathway is an emerging target across a number of adult and pediatric tumors. Targeting the downstream effector of MAPK, MEK1, is a proposed strategy to control the growth of MAPK-dependent tumors.

Open AccessCCNE1 amplification is associated with poor prognosis in patients with triple negative breast cancer
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is aggressive with limited treatment options upon recurrence. Molecular discordance between primary and metastatic TNBC has been observed, but the degree of biological hete...

Open AccessMSEA: detection and quantification of mutation hotspots through mutation set enrichment analysis
Many cancer genes form mutation hotspots that disrupt their functional domains or active sites, leading to gain- or loss-of-function. We propose a mutation set enrichment analysis (MSEA) implemented by two nov...

Chip** away at the lung cancer genome
Kinase inhibitors are now standard treatment for patients with lung cancer whose tumors harbor specific mutant kinases. Four recent studies, including three in this issue (pages 375–384
