EGFR and PI3K inhibitor combination has been studied in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer and breast cancer preclinical cell line models, however these studies did not compare the synergistic effects of EGFR amplified and PI3K mutant cells to non-amplified and non-mutant cells (26-34, 36, 37). The gene discussed is PIK3CA; the disease is glioblastoma.
