Clinical And Therapeutic Significance Of Obesity In Melanoma, Jennifer L. Mcquade
Clinical And Therapeutic Significance Of Obesity In Melanoma, Jennifer L. Mcquade
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)

The IGF-1/PI3K/AKT pathway has been implicated in resistance to both targeted and immune therapy. The IGF-1/PI3K/AKT pathway has also been shown to play a key role in the pathogenesis of obesity in other malignancies. To date, the impact of energy balance on clinical outcomes and therapeutic response in MM has not been studied. I hypothesized that energy balance would impact the molecular biology, behavior, and drug sensitivity …
