Resistance to topoisomerase poisons due to loss of DNA mismatch repair
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Sporadic breast carcinomas demonstrate microsatellite instability, reflecting the presence of DNA mismatch repair-deficient cells, in about one fourth of cases at the time of diagnosis. Loss of DNA mismatch repair has been reported to result in resistance not only to cisplatin and alkylating agents but also to the topoisomerase II poison doxorubicin, suggesting an association between DNA mismatch repair and...
