Apoptosis: A link between cancer genetics and chemotherapy

Johnstone, R. W., Ruefli, A. A., Lowe, S. W. (January 2002) Apoptosis: A link between cancer genetics and chemotherapy. Cell, 108 (2). pp. 153-164. ISSN 0092-8674

Abstract

Defects in apoptosis underpin both tumorigenesis and drug resistance, and because of these defects chemotherapy often fails. Understanding the molecular events that contribute to drug-induced apoptosis, and how tumors evade apoptotic death, provides a paradigm to explain the relationship between cancer genetics and treatment sensitivity and should enable a more rational approach to anticancer drug design and therapy.
