Table 1 Comparison of clinicopathologic variables and PIK3CA mutation status in 280 primary endometrial carcinomas assessed by Sanger sequencing.

From: PIK3CA exon9 mutations associate with reduced survival, and are highly concordant between matching primary tumors and metastases in endometrial cancer
