Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been reported for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and is implicated in survival of tumor cells as well as therapeutic resistance. In the present study, we searched for combination therapies with the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BEZ235 (BEZ235) in RMS. Here, we identify a synthetic lethal interaction of BEZ235...
