Successes in fighting cancer bring new challenge: drug resistance - The Boston Globe

boston.com — “Targeted drugs that attack the genetic machinery of cancer with laser-like precision are, in a select group of patients, melting tumors away, often with few side effects. The problem is, almost invariably, these medications eventually stop working. That is fueling a mad dash to discover why cancers become resistant to so-called smart drugs and to develop new therapies - or combinations of drugs - that can thwart the disease’s Houdini act.View full resource at boston.com

Tamoxifen Resistance – and How to Defeat It

newswise.com — “In the last three decades, thousands of women with breast cancer have taken the drug tamoxifen, only to discover that the therapy doesn’t work, either because their tumors do not respond to the treatment at all, or because they develop resistance to it over time. Now researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have discovered the molecular basis for tamoxifen resistance and found a potential way to defeat it.View full resource at newswise.com
