Dimension: 262 x 186 x 41. Weight in Grams: 1262.
Chemotherapy is one of the major treatment options for cancer patients; however, the efficacy of chemotherapeutic management of cancer is severely limited by multidrug resistance, in that cancer cells become simultaneously resistant to many structurally and mechanistically unrelated drugs. In the past three decades, a number of mechanisms by which cancer cells acquire multidrug resistance have been discovered. In addition, the development of agents or strategies to overcome resistance has been the subject of intense study. This book contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of multidrug resistance mechanisms, from over-expression of ATP-binding cassette drug transporters such as P-glycoprotein, multidrug resistance-associated proteins, ...

Reviews for Multi-drug Resistance in Cancer
From the reviews: “This book uses cancer as the focus to discuss both the mechanistic events causing multi-drug resistance and the potential ways to mitigate it. … In summary, this book provides a good overview of the development and treatment of multi-drug resistance in cancer. … each individual chapter covers a specific area in an easy-to-read manner, which should ...
