MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF TUMOR CELL RESISTANCE T...

¿¿¿¿¿This volume gives the latest developments in on the mechanisms of cancer cell resistance
to apoptotic stimuli  which eventually result in cancer progression and metastasis. One of the
main challenges in cancer research is to develop new therapies to combat resistant tumors. The
development of new effective therapies will be dependent on delineating the biochemical 
molecular  and genetic mechanisms that regulate tumor cell resistance to cytotoxic drug-induced
apoptosis. These mechanisms should reveal gene products that directly regulate resistance in
order to develop new drugs that target these resistance factors and such new drugs may either
be selective or common to various cancers. If successful  new drugs may not be toxic and may be
used effectively in combination with subtoxic conventional drugs to achieve synergy and to
reverse tumor cell resistance. The research developments presented in this book can be
translated to produce better clinical responses to resistant tumors.
