Molecular aberrations and/or hyperactivation of the PI3K-PTEN-AKT axis are frequent in distinct cancer types such as endometrial carcinoma, the most common type of cancer of the female genital tract, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a mature B-cell neoplasm depending on B-cell receptor (BCR) activity, which induces chronical activation of this pathway. Here, PTEN is linked to B-cell neoplasm.
