Inparticular, determining the characteristics of breast cancer at the molecular level has become crucial in the initiation of newtherapies. In recent years, the detection of PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer, as in many types of cancers, and especially in casesthat have become resistant to treatment, is guiding the use of new targeted drugs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluatePIK3CA mutations in patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: In this study, PIK3CA mutations were detected using next-generation sequencing technology appliedtoparaffin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples of primary tumortissue from 110 breast cancer patients who did not receive neoadjuvant treatment previously. The relationship between PIK3CA mutation and tumor molecular subtypes, immunohistochemical estrogenreceptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), c-erbB2, Ki-67 staining, and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)Neu statusdetected by fluorescence in situ hybridization were investigated. Results: The PIK3CA mutation was found in 21 (19.1%) cases. A significant positive correlation was detected between ER, PR, and luminal A type and PIK3CA mutations (p KW - Breast cancer KW - hormone receptors KW - HER2Neu KW - NGS KW - PIK3CA mutations CR - 1.
