JCM, SA and MRT were responsible for analyzing PIK3CA testing data from U-PIK testers, for reporting anonymized PIK3CA testing performance back to U-PIK testers, and also for the analysis of molecular reports. JCM, SA, MRT, PMB and AP edited the manuscript, drafted and written with editorial assistance of JCS (Acknowledgements). All authors read and approved the final manuscript.”
