Evolutionary selection of pancreatic cancer cells leads to chemoresistance
Researchers at Âé¶¹Ó³» MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown how pretreatment clonal complexity in pancreatic tumor cells leads to chemotherapy resistance, findings that could lead to better-personalized and effective combination therapies.
Tumorigenesis is an evolutionary process. ¡°A tumor is an ecosystem composed of different cell populations, and the fittest survive,¡± says Alessandro Carugo, Ph.D., research scientist...
