Breast cancer (BC) is a multifaceted disease characterized by distinct molecular subtypes and varying responses to treatment. In BC, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway has emerged as a crucial contributor to the development, advancement, and resistance to treatment. This review article explores the implications of the PI3K pathway in predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine for BC. It emphasizes the identification of predictive biomarkers, such as PIK3CA mutations, and the utility of molecular profiling in guiding treatment decisions. The review also discusses the potential of targeting the PI3K pathway for preventive strategies and the customization of therapy based on tumor stage, molecular subtypes, and genetic alterations. Overcoming resistance to PI3K inhibitors and exploring combination therapies are addressed as important considerations. While this field holds promise in improving patient outcomes, further research and clinical trials are needed to validate these approaches and translate them into clinical practice.
乳腺癌(BC)是一种多方面的疾病,其特征是具有不同的分子亚型和对治疗的不同反应。在 BC 中,磷脂酰肌醇 3-激酶(PI3K)途径已成为其发展、进展和对治疗产生耐药性的关键因素。这篇综述文章探讨了 PI3K 途径在 BC 的预测、预防和个体化医学中的意义。它强调了鉴定预测性生物标志物(如 PIK3CA 突变)的重要性,以及分子谱分析在指导治疗决策中的作用。该综述还讨论了针对 PI3K 途径的预防策略的潜力,以及基于肿瘤分期、分子亚型和遗传改变来定制治疗的可能性。克服对 PI3K 抑制剂的耐药性并探索联合疗法是需要考虑的重要问题。尽管这一领域在改善患者预后方面具有很大的前景,但仍需要进一步的研究和临床试验来验证这些方法,并将其转化为临床实践。
