The biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in the role of tumor micro-environment stress in development of drug resistance

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Multi-drug resistance (MDR) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer and it continues to be a challenge in cancer treatment. Moreover, the tumor micro-environment is essential to the formation of drug resistant cancers. Recent evidence indicates that the tumor micro-environment is a critical regulator of cancer progression, distant metastasis and acquired resistance of tumors to various...
