In NCI‐H1975 cells treated with DHA and gefitinib, the expression of pMIT and p‐STAT3 was significantly downregulated, indicating that both of them synergistically inhibit the growth and promote the apoptosis of NSCLC cells through the Akt/mTOR/STAT3 pathway.175. Here, AKT1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
