Polyploidy in Cancer: Causal Mechanisms, Cancer-Specific Consequences, and Emerging Treatments

Abstract excerpt

Drug resistance is the major determinant for metastatic disease and fatalities, across all cancers. Depending on the tissue of origin and the therapeutic course, a variety of biological mechanisms can support and sustain drug resistance. Although genetic mutations and gene silencing through epigenetic mechanisms are major culprits in targeted therapy, drug efflux and polyploidization are more global mechanisms...
