This document discusses strategies to combat drug resistance in anticancer therapy. It notes that continuous monitoring of patients and using a cocktail of drugs targeting multiple resistance pathways can help overcome resistance. Another strategy is intermittent "on and off" high and low dosing to interrupt growth of resistant cells. Blocking P-glycoprotein and depleting ATP can decrease drug resistance by inhibiting drug efflux. Using nanoparticles loaded with chemotherapy drugs and targeting molecules allows drugs to enter cancer cells. Genetic changes that increase drug-deactivating enzymes, membrane transporters, or DNA repair can also cause resistance.
