Preclinical investigations of drug resistance. 1995

The effectiveness of antileukemic therapy is limited by intrinsic and acquired cellular resistance. Preclinical investigations support a complex and redundant network of cytoprotective mechanisms resulting from decreased drug accumulation, intracellular drug detoxification, alterations in nuclear targets of the antineoplastic agent, impaired transduction of growth arrest signals, and inherent cytokinetic resistance to S-phase active agents. Some, but not all, of these mechanisms are coordinately regulated, and correlative studies suggest that some may indeed contribute to clinical chemotherapy resistance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
