EGFR–PI3K–AKT–mTOR signaling in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas: attractive targets for molecular-oriented therapy
26 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: Recent advances in the understanding of the oncogenesis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) have revealed multiple dysregulated signaling pathways. One frequently altered axis is the EGFR-PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway. This pathway plays a central role in numerous cellular processes including metabolism, cell growth, apoptosis, survival and differentiation, which ultimately...
