Abstract

Genetic alterations in signaling pathways that control cell-cycle progression, apoptosis, and cell growth are common hallmarks of cancer, but the extent, mechanisms, and co-occurrence of alterations in these pathways differ between individual tumors and tumor types. Using mutations, copy-number changes, mRNA expression, gene fusions and DNA methylation in 9,125 tumors profiled by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we analyzed the mechanisms and patterns of somatic alterations in ten canonical pathways: cell cycle, Hippo, Myc, Notch, Nrf2, PI-3-Kinase/Akt, RTK-RAS, TGFβ signaling, p53 and β-catenin/Wnt. We charted the detailed landscape of pathway alterations in 33 cancer types, stratified into 64 subtypes, and identified patterns of co-occurrence and mutual exclusivity. Eighty-nine percent of tumors had at least one driver alteration in these pathways, and 57% percent of tumors had at least one alteration potentially targetable by currently available drugs. Thirty percent of tumors had multiple targetable alterations, indicating opportunities for combination therapy.

  • KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in various human cancers such as pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancer, with G12, G13, and Q61 being the most prevalent mutant codons.

    “Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) is the most frequently mutated oncogene in various types of human cancers such as pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancer, with G12, G13, and Q61 being the most prevalent mutant codons observed (1, 2).”

    From YAP/TAZ mediates resistance to KRAS inhibitors through inhibiting proapoptosis and activating the SLC7A5/mTOR axis (2024) · cites this paper as [1]

    The Results section (“Pathway alteration frequencies per tumor-type”; page unavailable) reports that KRAS was the most frequently altered gene in the RTK-RAS pathway and that its alterations were most common in pancreatic carcinoma, genomically stable colorectal cancer, and lung adenocarcinoma. That is narrower than saying it is the most frequently mutated oncogene across human cancers. The paper passages found do not identify G12, G13, and Q61 as its most prevalent mutant codons. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • KRAS mutations lead to accumulation of active GTP-bound KRAS, which regulates multiple oncogenic cellular processes through MAPK and PI3K pathways.

    “KRAS mutations lead to the accumulation of active GTP-bound KRAS, which in turn regulates multiple oncogenic cellular processes through its downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways (1, 2).”

    From YAP/TAZ mediates resistance to KRAS inhibitors through inhibiting proapoptosis and activating the SLC7A5/mTOR axis (2024) · cites this paper as [1]

    The Introduction identifies RTK/RAS/MAP-kinase and PI3K/Akt as cancer-associated pathways, and the Results describe oncogenic KRAS mutations as RAS-pathway drivers (page numbers unavailable). Our copy does not state that KRAS mutations cause active GTP-bound KRAS to accumulate or that mutant KRAS regulates cellular processes through both MAPK and PI3K. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • MFS, UPS, and DDLS share genomic alterations that result in PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK pathway activation.

    “Despite their genetic complexity, these sarcomas share genomic alterations causing PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK pathway activation”

    From Targeting eIF4A-dependent translation in genetically complex sarcoma (2026) · cites this paper as [7]

    The Results section on mutual exclusivity and co-occurrence reports alterations that promote PI3K or RAS signaling across tumor types. The Therapeutic actionability section reports CDK4/MDM2 co-amplification in dedifferentiated liposarcoma, but the passages do not establish that MFS, UPS, and DDLS share alterations activating both PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK pathways. Page numbers were not supplied. (LLM, conf=0.77)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in cancer, yet efforts to directly target KRAS have been mostly unsuccessful because initial analyses of KRAS proteins indicated that they lack a clear pocket to which small molecules can bind with high affinity.

    “KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in cancer, yet efforts to directly target KRAS have been mostly unsuccessful because initial analyses of KRAS proteins indicated that they lack a clear pocket to which small molecules can bind with high affinity [1, 2].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
