Recent novel tumor gatekeepers and potential therapeutic approaches (2017)

Abstract

Tumor remains a challenging task for oncology community. Drug resistance due to chemotherapy remain principal impediments toward potential therapeutic strategies. Development of novel anti-cancer drugs or new targeted strategies to conquer drug resistance is a key goal of cancer research. In this respect, novel tumor gatekeepers and innovative targeted strategies can be helpful in overcoming drug resistance as well as improve currently used targeted therapies. In this review, efforts have been made to present some of the latest knowledge about novel tumor gatekeepers and new therapeutic strategies to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy and give new hope to cancer patients to fight against cancer.
