The results of previous research of the BYL-719 and everolimus combination point towards utilizing it on PIK3CA mutant cancers only, but they showed to be synergistic and effective in the PTEN deficient PIK3CA WT PDXs WHIM30 and HCI-010, suggesting that the precision medicine potential of BYL-719 plus everolimus should be considered in the treatment for PTEN lacking basal-like cancers, which are three or more times or more common than PIK3CA mutation containing basal-like breast cancer. This evidence concerns the gene PTEN and cancer.
