Abstract: Abstract: Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a cytoplasmic non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase, serves as both a molecular scaffold and a mediator participating in multiple signal transduction pathways. FAK is involved in tumor cell survival, proliferation, migration and metastasis. Currently, FAK has been regarded as a potential target for cancer therapy. This review is to summarize the relationship between FAK and tumor progression, and to discuss the strategies targeting FAK for cancer treatment.
Key words: focal adhesion kinase; antitumor; treatment
