Though much work on PIM kinases has focused on their roles in hematological malignancies, with clinical testing of PIM inhibitors as monotherapy in multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, malignant lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma [47], they have also been shown to be overexpressed in multiple solid tumor types, including breast, prostate, pancreatic, gastric, hepatocellular, and colorectal cancers [48–50] and hypothesized to contribute to disease progression in many cases. The gene discussed is PIM1; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
