Popis: Abstract Cancer can be considered as a communication disease between and within cells; nevertheless, there is no effective therapy for the condition, and this disease is typically identified at its late stage. Chemotherapy, radiation, and molecular-targeted treatment are typically ineffective against cancer cells. A better grasp of the processes of carcinogenesis, aggressiveness, metastasis, treatment resistance, detection of the illness at an earlier stage, and obtaining a better therapeutic response will be made possible. Researchers have discovered that cancerous mutations mainly affect signaling pathways. The Hippo pathway, as one of the main signaling pathways of a cell, has a unique ability to cause cancer. In order to treat cancer, a complete understanding of the Hippo signaling system will be required. On the other hand, interaction with other pathways like Wnt, TGF-β, AMPK, Notch, JNK, mTOR, and Ras/MAP kinase pathways can contribute to carcinogenesis. Phosphorylation of oncogene YAP and TAZ could lead to leukemogenesis, which this process could be regulated via other signaling pathways. This review article aimed to shed light on how the Hippo pathway interacts with other cellular signaling networks and its functions in leukemia.
