The abnormal alternation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Protein Kinase B (PI3K/PKB) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) signal pathways plays an important role in emergence and development of tumors, which also contributes to a series of biological processes and exerts a tremendous influence on treatment and prognosis of tumors. This review investigates PI3K/Akt and COX-2 signal pathways blockage and their mechanism, and provided a original direction for molecular target therapy of diverse tumors including gastric carcinoma.
