Abstract
This review presents some therapeutic interventions actually considered in prostate cancer therapy to compensate constitutive activation of the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway induced, particularly, by mutations of PTEN gene. Special emphasis is placed on applicability of EGF-R tyrosine kinase, COX-2, PDK-1, mTOR and farnesyltransferase inhibitors.
Keywords: Prostate cancer, PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, growth inhibition
