The phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a major signaling pathway that may be activated in advanced pancreatic cancer. To highlight the potential interest of this targetable pathway in selected advanced pancreatic cancer patients, we report herein a patient with an activated PI3K mutation who was treated in a phase I trial evaluating a treatment combination including an mTOR inhibitor.Keywords: pancreatic cancer, PI3K, targeted therapy, molecular profilinghttp://www.dovepress.com/molecular-guided-therapy-for-advanced-pancreatic-cancer-patients-with--a12257 |
