treatment failure

Why Does Treatment Failure Occur?

There are multiple reasons for treatment failure in cancer:
1. Tumor Heterogeneity: Tumors are composed of diverse cell populations, some of which might be resistant to treatment.
2. Drug Resistance: Cancer cells can develop resistance to chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
3. Suboptimal Drug Delivery: Poor blood supply to the tumor can limit the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
4. Patient Factors: Age, general health, and genetic factors can influence the effectiveness of treatment.
