Safety and efficacy of sirolimus combined with endocrine therapy in patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and the exploration of biomarkers

This retrospective study assessed the safety and efficacy of sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, combined with endocrine therapy in 36 patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer. The combination yielded a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 4.9 months and an objective response rate of 19.4%, with a clinical benefit rate

Low-dose naltrexone plays antineoplastic role in cervical cancer progression through suppressing PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway

This 2021 study investigates the antitumor effects of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) on cervical cancer. LDN treatment upregulated the expression of the opioid growth factor receptor (OGFr) and suppressed the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, leading to reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro. In vivo, LDN inhibited tumor
