Full Description
This examination investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying drug resistance in cancer treatment. Candidates will explore factors that inhibit the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents at the cellular level.
Understanding drug resistance mechanisms is vital for improving treatment protocols and patient outcomes in oncology. Knowledge in this area guides the development of combination therapies and novel agents.
Candidates will be assessed on their ability to articulate various resistance mechanisms, including mutations, efflux pumps, and microenvironmental influences, and the implications for therapy.
Discussions may also extend to current research trends focusing on overcoming resistance, highlighting the dynamic nature of cancer pharmacology.
