Abstract Text | Prostate cancer is among the most common types of cancer in men. Early detection and proper medical intervention is crucial to ensuring successful treatment. Here we describe a patient clinically presenting with castrate-resistant prostate carcinoma. Comprehensive genomic profiling identified a PTEN inactivating mutation in the patient's tumor. After being heavily pretreated, the patient showed stable disease on everolimus, a PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway inhibitor. |
