Abstract excerpt
mTORC1 is aberrantly activated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and is targeted by rapalogs. As for other targeted therapies, rapalogs clinical utility is limited by the development of resistance. Resistance often results from target mutation, but mTOR mutations are rarely found in RCC. As in humans, prolonged rapalog treatment of RCC tumorgrafts (TGs) led to resistance. Unexpectedly, explants from resistant tumors...
