Is the synergistic interaction of MEK and PI3K inhibitors modulated by mTOR inhibition?
These studies confirm that dual targeting of PI3K and MEK can induce synergistic growth inhibition; however, the combination of specific PI3K inhibitors, rather than dual mTOR/PI3K inhibitors, with MEK inhibitors results in greater synergy.
Propranolol may reduce both EV recurrence rate and volume of PEV in patients achieving endoscopic eradication. Regression of PEV is a predictor of durable eradication of EV without recurrence in patients using propranolol. EUS is an objective and useful tool to measure PEV and predict recurrence of EV.
