Abstract

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is a highly conserved signaling pathway closely linked to cancer development through various biological processes, including oncogenic transformation, genomic instability, cancer cell proliferation, stemness, metabolism, cell death, immune regulation, and metastasis. Notably, its activation plays a crucial role in drug resistance to chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Recent advances in drug development have identified several targeted inhibitors acting at key nodal points of this pathway, with some demonstrating synergistic efficacy when combined with immunotherapeutic agents. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of current understanding regarding the…
