Number of somatic mutations associated with cancers in patients
(Insertions & deletions) (Single base substitutions)
Signaling Pathways Affected In Cancers
The RAS Pathway as a representative signaling pathway affected by cancer mutations and approaches to therapy based on RAS pathway anomalies RTK = receptor tyrosine kinase
