Akt inhibitors in cancer treatment: The long journey from drug discovery to clinical use (Review).

abstract：:We previously reported in a retrospective study that CEA-based RT-PCR was useful for predicting the prognosis of patients with node-negative colorectal cancer. RT-PCR is well established for laboratory use, but many issues remain to be resolved prior to its clinical application. In addition to the false positive rate ...
