Despite the significant advances in cancer therapy made through
constant evaluation and analysis of treatment aftereffects, the
disease still remains one of the foremost causes of mortality
worldwide killing more than 12 million people annually. The prime
reason behind the failure of conventional chemotherapeutics which
are used as the chief regimen in the comprehensive treatment of
cancers is the development of chemoresistance. It can be either
intrinsic or acquired and is primarily mediated via different key
regulators like MDR, MAPK, NF- B, PI3K/Akt, Wnt signaling pathways
etc. Thus, agents which can target these regulatory elements or
pathways and in turn sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy holds
immense prospect. However, there is barely such comprehensive work
available in scientific literature that explains how
chemosensitization of cancer cells functions using different drug
combinations and exhibit synergism. This book provides a detailed
description of chemoresistance and chemosensitization, targets for
chemosensitization and various approaches adapted in the process of
chemosensitization. Furthermore, the book explicates the role of
various chemosensitizers, both natural and synthetic in sensitizing
cancer cells and also details the current research findings on
chemosensitization of different cancer types in both pre-clinical
and clinical settings.
