Inhibition of PI3K and MAPK pathways along with KIT inhibitors as a strategy to overcome drug resistance in gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Activating mutations in KIT/PDGFRA receptor tyrosine kinases drive gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). KIT/PDGFRA inhibitors, such as imatinib do not evoke an effective cytocidal response, leaving room for quiescence and development of multiple secondary resistance mutations. As the majority of...
