Cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are among the most prevalent diseases in contemporary society, exerting profound psychological and physical distress on affected individuals and their kin. There is an emerging consensus from epidemiological studies suggesting a potential inverse relationship between the two conditions; that is, the presence of one disease might offer some level of protection against the other. The etiology of both cancer and AD is intricately linked to dysregulation and perturbations in critical signaling pathways. These pathways, along with the diverse factors they encompass, exert distinct influences on the pathogenesis of two diseases. In this paper, we make a short review of the different mutations in the relevant signaling pathways between cancer and AD and introduce a few representative drugs for the two diseases based on various targets to provide a new idea for treating cancer and AD.
