Deregulation of the Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is associated with metabolic flexibility leading to cancer poor prognosis. Here, the authors show that targeting both glutamine degradation and mTOR inhibition effectively kills PI3K-altered cancer cells in pre-clinical and clinical settings for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and solid cancer.
