They showed that simultaneously targeting glycolysis and mTOR complexes directly with glucose analog 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) and mTOR inhibitor AZD8055 reduced tumor growth significantly and provided a stronger effect in combination than either 2-DG or AZD8055 alone (Andrade-Vieira et al., 2014). This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and neoplasm.
