An Update on Molecular Mechanisms andTargted Therapiesto Combat Chemoresistance in Oral Cancer.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Patient survival rates of oral cancer have not changed significantly over the past year. Chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy are various treatment modalities for oral cancer. Drug resistance is the major barrier in the field of cancer treatment. Understanding molecular mechanism behind the chemo resistance is very critical to find ways to overcome this and to decrease mortality rates of oral cancer in future. Thisreview explores current molecular mechanisms behind chemo resistance of oral cancer and targeted therapies to overcome chemo resistance.
