Resistance mechanisms to cancer chemotherapy.
Resistance to chemotherapy ('drug resistance') is a fundamental problem that limits the effectiveness of many chemotherapies currently used to treat cancer. Drug resistance can occur due to a variety of mechanisms, such as increased drug inactivation, drug efflux from cancer cells, enhanced repair of chemotherapy-induced damage, activation of pro-survival pathways and inactivation of cell death...
متن کاملMechanisms of drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy.
The management of cancer involves procedures, which include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Development of chemoresistance is a persistent problem during the treatment of local and disseminated disease. A plethora of cytotoxic drugs that selectively, but not exclusively, target actively proliferating cells include such diverse groups as DNA alkylating agents, antimetabolites, intercalat...
متن کاملChemotherapy Resistance Mechanisms in Advanced Skin Cancer
Melanoma is a most dangerous and deadly type of skin cancer, and considered intrinsically resistant to both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It has become a major public health concern as the incidence of melanoma has been rising steadily over recent decades with a 5-year survival remaining less than 5%. Detection of the disease in early stage may be curable, but late stage metastatic disease tha...
متن کاملMechanisms of Nuclear Export in Cancer and Resistance to Chemotherapy
Tumour suppressor proteins, such as p53, BRCA1, and ABC, play key roles in preventing the development of a malignant phenotype, but those that function as transcriptional regulators need to enter the nucleus in order to function. The export of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm is complex. It occurs through nuclear pores and exported proteins need a nuclear export signal (NES) to bind t...
متن کاملFailure of Pancreatic Cancer Chemotherapy: Consequences of Drug Resistance Mechanisms
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal forms of cancer and it is estimated that there will be about 44,000 new cases in US in the year 2011. With 37,600 estimated deaths in 2011, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer related deaths in US (American Cancer Society, 2011). In spite of numerous efforts, the 5-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer has not improved much for ...
