Somatic mutations in PIK3CA have been found in 1–3% of NSCLC. These mutations typically occur within specific hotspot regions. PIK3CA mutations appear to be more common in squamous cell histology compared to adenocarcinoma and can occur with or without a history of smoking. PIK3CA mutations can co-occur with EGFR mutations and PIK3CA mutations have been detected in a small percentage (approximately 5%) of EGFR-mutated lung cancers with acquired resistance to EGFR TKI therapy.
