1 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Chemotherapeutic agents have been used for the treatment of patients with osteosarcoma (OS). However, inherent or acquired resistance to these agents is a serious problem in the management of OS patients. The emergence of the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype in cancer cells is often associated with the overexpression of P-glycoprotein, encoded by the multidrug resistance gene MDR-1. The administration of some...
