What are the Current Strategies to Overcome Cancer Resistance?
Several strategies are being explored to overcome cancer resistance:
Combination Therapy: Using multiple drugs with different mechanisms of action can help prevent cancer cells from developing resistance to any single agent. Targeted Therapy: Drugs that specifically target the molecular abnormalities in cancer cells can be more effective and less toxic than traditional chemotherapy. Immunotherapy: Boosting the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells can provide a powerful tool against resistant cancers. Novel Drug Development: Research is ongoing to develop new drugs that can overcome resistance mechanisms, such as inhibitors of efflux pumps or drugs that target previously undruggable targets.
