Multi-Drug Resistance in Cancer (PDF Book)
by Rishabha Malviya (Author)
The book describes the causes of cellular resistance to multiple drugs and the goals of new therapeutic agents.
Cancer is responsible for the majority of deaths worldwide. Despite all of the accomplishments, chemotherapy is still the primary form of treatment for modern cancer. The progression of the cellular loss of multiple individual anti-cancer drugs in terms of their chemical composition is a significant obstacle to successful chemotherapy. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) is a term that describes the majority of cancer patients as having this property. The statistics indicate that resistance to drugs is responsible for 90% of the deaths of cancer patients. Refractory cancer and tumor recurrence are common side effects of long-term chemotherapy. Due to the high prevalence of drug-resistant mutations, the treatment of tumors is difficult and the effectiveness of drugs decreases.
Multiple Drug Resistance in Cancer: Mechanism and Treatment Strategies has 9 different chapters that discuss topics such as: the study of the mechanism of resistance to drugs via autophagy; the expression of drugs transporters; the resistance of breast cancer to targeted therapies; the use of natural compounds to overcome cancer drug resistance; and the study of the impact of combining multiple drugs on the body.
The purpose of the book is to disseminate the most recent information regarding the mechanisms of cellular resistance to cancer therapies that are currently employed in clinical practice. It facilitates a greater understanding of the mechanisms behind MDR and the targets of novel chemotherapy agents that should inspire future research regarding new effective treatments for cancer.
Audience
This book is intended for scientists and researchers in the pharmaceutical and medical fields who want to understand the mechanisms and approaches for dealing with cancer’s multiple-drug resistance.
