Overcoming chemotherapy resistance in prostate cancer.
Although treatment for prostate cancer has improved over the past several years, taxanes remain the only form of chemotherapy that improves survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In addition to the promising therapeutic cancer vaccines and newly developed agents targeting androgen receptor signaling, chemotherapy-based treatments will likely continue ...
متن کاملCombating and overcoming drug resistance in cancer
While the majority of patients with cancer treated with chemotherapy initially respond to treatment, a sub-group of patients either do not respond or eventually stop responding to the therapy in a phenomenon known as tumor cell resistance. Evidence of many different mechanisms of resistance have been reported in the literature, and it remains a great challenge to delineate the pathways involved...
متن کاملOvercoming Trastuzumab Resistance in Breast Cancer
A targeted therapy using the antibodies Trastuzumab (Genentech, CA) developed to block HER2 signaling has been successfully used to treat patients with metastatic breast cancers that overexpress HER2. However, resistance to trastuzumab therapy is a major obstacle in the clinical management of HER2+ breast cancer. Studies have suggested an interesting association between the mechanism of resista...
متن کاملOvercoming drug resistance in lung cancer.
Anticancer drugs have been explored by means of random screening and demonstrated to be active against not only hematologic malignancies but also some solid tumors. Recent progress in the field of molecular biology has identified many new molecular targets for anticancer drugs. In this review, for example, signal-transduction pathways, which are influenced by newer agents like the taxanes (pacl...
متن کاملOvercoming Multidrug Resistance in Cancer Stem Cells
The principle mechanism of protection of stem cells is through the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. These transporters serve as the guardians of the stem cell population in the body. Unfortunately these very same ABC efflux pumps afford protection to cancer stem cells in tumors, shielding them from the adverse effects of chemotherapy. A number of strategies to circumvent t...
