Is multidrug resistance relevant in breast cancer? 1991

G C Wishart, and S B Kaye
CRC Department of Medical Oncology, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

The multidrug resistance phenotype is associated with expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an energy-dependent drug efflux pump. P-gp is expressed in several clinically resistant human cancers. This article discusses the evidence that P-gp expression may be implicated in the development of clinical drug resistance in patients with breast cancer.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.

D004351 Drug Resistance Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.
