RICTOR and neoplasm: Correlation between RICTOR expression and tumor size, namely p = 0.0012 and p = 0.0055 for tumors 1–2 cm and tumors >3 cm compared with tumors < 1 cm.Higher levels of mTOR were seen in tumors with cystic lesions (p = 0.044). Levels of mTOR were found to be significantly correlated with levels of both RAPTOR (p = 0.000234) and RICTOR (p = 0.0000002). RAPTOR and RICTOR levels were also significantly correlated (p < 0.0000002).
