EIF4E and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Table 2 showed that p-Akt had a positive correlation with p-mTOR (r = 0.107, P = 0.047) and p-eIF4E (r = 0.287, P<0.001) in NSCLC. Meanwhile, there was an evidently positive correlation between the expression of p-mTOR and p-eIF4E protein in the NSCLC (r = 0.265, P<0.001).
