Abstract


Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a devastating disease with an increasing incidence. Among the commonly dysregulated pathways in oncogenesis are the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase / protein kinase-B/ mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) and apoptotic pathways. Buparlisib, a pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, has antineoplastic effects, but its associated toxicities hinder its beneficial role in patients. Calcitriol, active vitamin D (Vit D), possesses anticancer functions by targeting both pathways. Therefore, Vit D could help achieve low buparlisib doses and boost its effects.
