Mechanism of resistance to anticancer drugsTumor cells may develop resistance to CT drugs througha number of mechanisms, including:1. Transport.2. Glutathione and associated enzymes.3. DNA repair.4. Tolerance to DNA damage.5. Drug-specific mechanisms.26
1. Transport• Mutation/altered expression of a drug transportprotein leading to decreased drug uptake (foragents such as melphalan and mechlorethaminethat are actively transported).27
