PAPAA PI3K_OG: PanCancer Aberrant Pathway Activity Analysis

Abstract

Signaling pathways are among the most commonly altered across different tumor types. Many tumors possess at least one driver alteration and nearly half of such alterations are potentially targeted by currently available drugs. A recent study in TCGA tumors has identified patterns of somatic variations and mechanisms in 10 canonical pathways
