Researchers have identified a mechanism by which tumors become resistant to cancer drugs. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have discovered a new mechanism that explains how some tumors can develop resistance to certain cancer drugs.
The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, could help in the development of new types of medication that prevent the tumors from achieving this type of resistance.
Scientists know that tumors can develop resistance to cancer drugs. According to an overview in the journal Cancers, cancers will often respond to chemotherapy drugs initially.
However, as time goes on, they can build up a resistance that makes the drugs less effective. Many factors allow cancers to build up
