Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Malignant mesothelioma is a tumour that is highly resistant to a number of different chemotherapy agents, yet the mechanisms by which resistance occurs are poorly understood. The pattern of resistance is consistent with disruption of topoisomerase function or expression. Coupled with this, we have previously noted a common serological reaction to the beta isoform of topoisomerase II, suggesting that it...
