| Summary: | The present volume reviews clinically relevant aspects of the pharmacokinetics of commonly used anticancer agents as well as mechanisms of cellular/experimental resistance to such agents. This extends to technological advances that enable high-throughput studies of genetic polymorphisms, which has opened up new avenues to the study of drug resistance and to the individualization of chemotherapy in order to decrease clinical toxicity and optimize treatment results. "This text provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms of resistance to cancer chemotherapuetic agents. Leading experts discuss molecular and biochemical pathways that influence cytotoxicity. Knowledge of these potential obstacles to therapy will allow for the development of more effective strategies to treat malignant diseases." Steven T. Rosen, M.D., Series Editor. |
