Core Tip	Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a poor prognosis with limited therapeutic options. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway (regulated by mTORC1 and mTORC2) is implicated in HCC pathogenesis. This review examines pre-clinical and clinical data demonstrating that mTORC1 inhibition effectively prevents HCC recurrence post-liver transplantation, and also has a modest anti-tumor effect in advanced HCC. The rationale and preclinical data for utilizing dual mTOR (mTORC1 and mTORC2) inhibition in HCC is also reviewed; a current phase?Ⅰ?clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of dual mTOR inhibitors is briefly discussed. mTOR pathway inhibition has therapeutic potential in the treatment of advanced HCC.
