Abstract: 【Abstract】 The pathogenesis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is complicated, and treatment methods of advanced cSCC remain insufficient. This review summarizes the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of cSCC, as well as progress in the treatment of cSCC targeting this pathway, and provides new ideas for targeted therapy of cSCC.

Key words: Neoplasms, squamous cell, Signal transduction, Skin, PI3K/Akt/mTOR
