Description for Cancer Drug Resistance
Hardback. Helps in understanding the complex interactions between host, tumor and cytotoxic or immunomodulatory agents. This work addresses the resistance of solid tumors to anticancer therapeutics by considering mechanisms that involve alterations in genetics and epigenetics, cellular biochemistry, and properties related to physiology of solid tumor mass. Editor(s): Teicher, Beverly A. Series: Cancer Drug Discovery and Development. Num Pages: 617 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL; MMZR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 28. Weight in Grams: 1144.
Leading experts summarize and synthesize the latest discoveries concerning the changes that occur in tumor cells as they develop resistance to anticancer drugs, and suggest new approaches to preventing and overcoming it. The authors review physiological resistance based upon tumor architecture, cellular resistance based on drug transport, epigenetic changes that neutralize or bypass drug cytotoxicity, and genetic changes that alter drug target molecules by decreasing or eliminating drug binding and efficacy. Highlights include new insights into resistance to antiangiogenic therapies, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in therapeutic resistance, cancer stem cells, and the development of more effective therapies. There are ... Read more
