Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Inhibitors Resistance Mechanisms in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
1 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a kinase protein involved in PI3K/AKT signaling with a central role in the processes of cell growth, survival and angiogenesis. Frequent mutations of this pathway make upstream and downstream components novel targets for tailored therapy design. Two mTOR inhibitors - everolimus and temsirolimus - enable an increase in overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS)...
