Abstract excerpt
Tumor cell resistance to chemotherapeutic agents of diverse structure and mechanism of action is thought to be due to efflux of drug by P-glycoprotein, which is overexpressed in tumor cells with the multidrug-resistant phenotype. Agents generally associated with the multidrug-resistant phenotype...
