Mechanisms of Cellular Resistance to Cytotoxic Drug

Description

Cytotoxic medications (also known as antineoplastics) are a type of cancer treatment that contain substances that are toxic to cells, limiting their reproduction or growth. They can also be used to treat a variety of other conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Once within the body, their action is often not carefully targeted, and they can cause adverse effects in both patients and others who come into contact with them. This book describes cutting-edge methodologies for investigating the mechanisms of anticancer cytotoxic drug resistance in human malignancies. There are clear instructions and numerous troubleshooting advice that enable researchers to examine a wide range of drug resistance mechanisms efficiently. Each method is intended to aid in the identification of the relationship between molecular and biochemical data and the clinical reactions of the patient. The methodologies given in this book are excellent instruments for studying all therapeutically relevant processes that are currently employed as markers of the biological response to anticancer chemotherapeutics. This book will delight the reader and is an excellent resource for students and researchers alike.
