Abstract 869: Breast tumor gene expression in the mTOR pathway and clinicopathological characteristics in Black women and White women

Background: Aberrant activation of the mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is implicated in breast carcinogenesis and outcomes. Based on protein expression data, the activation could be heterogeneous by race, body fatness, and tumor clinicopathological characteristics. To understand potential impacts of mTOR pathway signaling in breast cancer, we evaluated the association of race and clinicopathological characteristics with gene...
