Resistance and Overcoming Resistance in Breast Cancer

CONCLUSIONS

Cancer is a common disease and represents one of the biggest health problems in the world, with BC being the leading cause of cancer death in women. One of the most significant clinical problems in the treatment of BC is the development of drug resistance. Therefore, the identification of the possible biological and molecular mechanisms involved in such resistance could help the development of new therapeutic targets. Recent research has shown that the application of combined therapies and use of emerging therapies may be effective for overcoming resistance and minimizing side effects, respectively.
