Molecular mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance in breast cancer therapy
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. Chemotherapy is the main strategy in the treatment of this disease especially in the advanced form of the disease. Despite the recent progress in the development of new chemotherapy, the effectiveness of these drugs has dramatically reduced due to multidrug resistance. The phenotype of multidrug resistance (MDR) can occur through different me...
متن کاملThe molecular genetics of breast cancer and targeted therapy
Breast cancer is a complex, molecular disease, in which a number of cellular pathways involving cell growth and proliferation, such as the MAPK, RB/E2F, P13K/AKT/mTOR, and TP53 pathways, are altered. These pathways represent molecular mechanisms that are composed and regulated by various genes. The genes that are altered in terms of cell growth and proliferation include the oncogenes HER2, c-MY...
متن کاملTargeted Therapy in Breast Cancer.
Currently targeted drug selection in breast cancer is exclusively based on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) expression mainly of the primary tumor, even if metastatic disease is actually treated. Retrospective data indicate discordance regarding those factors between primary tumors and corresponding metastatic lesions in up to...

improve the efficacy of antihormonal therapy and may overcome endocrine treatment resistance at least temporarily in many patients. However, the impressive array of possible treatment combinations and sequences warrants an enormous amount of further research to identify optimal treatment algorithms. Further research will also have to focus on the exploration and establishment of predictive fact...
