In this context, the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) and androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathways have emerged as potential therapeutic strategies against selected tumors.
PI3K-Akt-mTOR and androgen receptor (AR) signaling are commonly aberrantly activated in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), with PTEN loss associating with poor prognosis.
