Abstract excerpt
Resistance to chemotherapy is a major impediment to the successful treatment of acute leukemia (AL). Expression of genes involved in drug resistance and apoptosis may be responsible for this. This study aimed to investigate the expression of drug resistance (MDR1, MRP1, LRP, BCRP, GSTP1, DHFR) and apoptotic genes (p53, BCL-2, Survivin) in adult acute leukemias and compare them with clinical and hematological...
