title: [PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway inhibitors].
abstract: Molecular targeted agents have enlarged the armamentarium of anti-cancer therapies. Along with the success of some anti-growth factor receptors, signal transduction inhibitors represent a promising anti-cancer strategy. The PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway is a key pathway frequently altered in cancer cells. This manuscript provides an overview of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway and its targeting in human malignancies. A focus is delivered for mTOR inhibitors.
