Abstract excerpt
So-called RAS-dependent pathways, such as those signalling via mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt, are implicated in proliferation and survival of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. However, the effects of their combined blockade and its potential therapeutic utility for the treatment of RAS-mutated MM have not systematically...
