In particular, high levels of phospho-mTOR-S2448, indicative of mTOR kinase activity, is remarkably correlated with better overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.29, p = 0.0014) and progress-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.414, p = 0.00049) in pancreatic cancer, as well as multiple other cancer types, including lung, liver, kidney, prostate, cervical cancers, and melanoma (Fig. 3f, Supplementary Fig. 4b). This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and pancreatic neoplasm.
