18 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Class III beta-tubulin (betaIII-tubulin) is expressed in tissues of neuronal lineage and also in several human malignancies, including non-small-cell lung carcinoma, breast and ovarian cancer. Overexpression of betaIII-tubulin in these tumours is associated with an unfavourable outcome and resistance to taxane-based therapies.
