Detecting intrinsic resistance involves various diagnostic techniques:
- Genetic Testing: Identifying specific genetic mutations associated with resistance can help in predicting intrinsic resistance. - Biomarker Analysis: The presence of certain biomarkers, such as high levels of efflux pumps, can indicate intrinsic resistance. - Functional Assays: Laboratory tests that measure the responsiveness of cancer cells to different drugs can help in identifying intrinsic resistance patterns.
