Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
HNSCC, which includes malignant squamous lesions arising in the oral cavity, larynx and pharynx, is the sixth most common cancer in the world, with approximately 500,000 new cases annually.
HNSCC has a remarkable multiplicity and diversity of genetic alterations. Most genomic alterations in HNSCC converge in a handful of molecular pathways resulting in cell cycle deregulation, genomic instability, cell differentiation defects, and persistent mitogenic signaling, the latter involving aberrant PI3K/mTOR pathway activation thereby rendering HNSCC responsive to PI3K/mTOR inhibitors.
Pathway is based on [FIg 1 from Iglesias-Bartolome et al, Fig 5 from Li et al and Fig 33-3 from Clinicalgate.
