Mechanisms of tolerance to DNA damaging therapeutic drugs
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
The cytotoxic effect of many anticancer drugs relies on their ability to damage DNA. Drug resistance can be associated with the ability to remove potentially lethal DNA lesions. DNA damage tolerance offers an alternative route to resistance. In a drug-tolerant cell, persistent DNA damage has become uncoupled from cell death. Tolerance to some DNA damaging drugs is accompanied by inactivation of the cell's DNA...
