Several key signaling pathways are implicated in regulating tumor invasion:
Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT): A process where epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal traits, increasing their migratory and invasive capabilities. PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway: This pathway promotes cell survival, growth, and invasion. Wnt/β-catenin Pathway: Dysregulation of this pathway is associated with increased invasive potential.
