For Lani ...what research is there on PTEN

Do we know for certain what role PTEN alteration plays in her2 tumors?
We know there is a connection however I thought it is
still tangential. I thought that PTEN was under research at MD Anderson.
Is there any good drug to target the PI-3 Kinase/PTEN pathway
for those that test negative for PTEN? I don't believe there is any

Thanks Lani,
Jean

Jean,
Lani is likely to provide a thorough answer to your question when able to respond.
In the meantime here are two bits of info from previous posts:

Jean , you're welcome... but someone else needs YOUR help

hit by stomach flu upon my return.

A few brief thoughts...I posted already how Tykerb's efficacy doesn't depend on the presence of PTEN and therefore should work on those with her2+ tumors who are not PTEN positive.

Will try to add more later...

Heblajo1....good reading....

Many thanks,
I was anxious to know if any new class of drugs have been noted (besides
the natural food track) to increase the level of PTEN....or if any drugs being
tested have shown some hope?

Good links and enjoyed reading....
Regards,
jean
