Resistance to HER2-targeted therapy
Production and approval of trastuzumab (Herceptin®) for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) was a millstone in antibody-based targeted therapy in the cancer treatment. However, despite the early success in the clinical trials, trastuzumab failed to appreciate the initial attraction due to development of resistance to the drug. The majority of patients who benefit from the drug...
متن کاملMolecular 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 کاملMechanism of resistance to cetuximab therapy in colorectal cancer
The response rate to cetuximab, a chimeric (mouse-human) monoclonal antibody directed against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), in colorectal cancer is low (10–15%), with significant inter-individual variability. Mechanisms proposed thus far to explain resistance to this therapy—such as the emergence of EGFR and KRAS mutations and aberrant ERBB2 signaling—do not account for the total int...
متن کاملResistance to Apoptosis in Cancer Therapy
An enormous body of work has established that conventional cancer therapies induce apoptosis in tumor cell lines and preclinical models of human disease. Parallel efforts have defined the evolutionarily conserved components of the apoptotic pathway, inspiring efforts to characterize the functional status of these components in human tumor cells. Although core pathway defects have been documente...
متن کاملDNA Repair and Resistance to Cancer Therapy
Humans are constantly exposed to diverse chemical and physical agents that have the potential to damage DNA, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), ionizing radiation (IR), UV light, and various environmental, dietary or pollutant chemical agents. The integrity and survival of a cell is critically dependent on genome stability, and cells possess multi‐ ple pathways to repair these DNA lesions. ...
