Description
The development of drug resistance hinders the effectiveness of cancer chemotherapy. While it is a complex problem, some remarkable findings have emerged from recent molecular biological and biochemical studies that are helping to shed light on the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance. Based on these findings, new therapeutic approaches targeting drug resistance mechanisms are being tested. This volume summarizes results of the latest preclinical and clinical studies on the circumvention of drug resistance.
