Abstract
Cancer progression is primarily driven by the uncontrolled activation of cellular signaling pathways, with the PI3K/Akt/mTOR (PAMT) pathway playing a central role. This pathway significantly contributes to the proliferation and survival of cancer cells, and its hyperactivity is a major challenge in managing several types of malignancies. This article delves into the promising potential of carotenoids, natural pigments found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, as a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. By specifically targeting and inhibiting the PAMT pathway, carotenoids may effectively disrupt the growth and survival of cancer cells. The article examines the complex mechanisms underlying these interactions and highlights the obstacles faced in cancer treatment. It proposes a compelling approach to developing therapies that leverage natural products to target this critical pathway, offering a fresh perspective on cancer treatment. Further research is essential to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of these compounds.
