Abstract
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComa) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms. mTOR inhibitors are the most active agents in PEComa and in patients progressing to mTOR inhibitors, other available therapies have limited benefit. Preclinical evidences showed a cross-talk between the mTOR pathway and estrogen receptor signaling. This provided a rationale for adding an antiestrogen treatment in female patients becoming resistant to mTOR inhibitors.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
