DDRE-46. REDUCED CANCER CELL SENSITIVITY TO TUMOR TREATING FIELDS (TTFields) THROUGH ACTIVATION OF THE PI3K/AKT/mTOR SIGNALING PATHWAY CAN BE MITIGATED USING PI3K INHIBITORS OR PI3K/mTOR DUAL INHIBITORS

INTRODUCTION Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) therapy is an approved anti-cancer treatment modality applied non-invasively and loco-regionally to the tumor region. TTFields have been demonstrated to extend life, however, most patients do eventually progress. The current study aimed to identify potential molecular mechanisms involved in reduced cellular sensitivity to TTFields. METHODS Cancer cells that exhibit reduced sensitivity to TTFields...
