What Makes Breast Cancer Resistant To Therapy? - Oncology Support Network
What Makes Breast Cancer Resistant To Therapy? Have you ever wondered why some breast cancers become resistant to treatment and how this affects patient outcomes? In this informative video, we'll explain the key factors behind breast cancer resistance to therapy. We'll start by discussing tumor heterogeneity and how the diverse population of cancer cells within a tumor can influence treatment success. We'll explore genetic and molecular changes, such as drug efflux mechanisms and hormone receptor alterations, that help cancer cells evade therapies like chemotherapy and hormone treatments. We'll also cover epigenetic modifications and their role in turning genes on or off without changing DNA, contributing to resistance, especially in aggressive cancer types. Additionally, we'll examine how the tumor microenvironment and processes like epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enable cancer cells to survive and spread. The video will highlight how targeted therapies can face resistance when cancer cells modify their receptors or activate alternative pathways. Understanding these mechanisms is vital for developing better treatment strategies. We'll discuss how researchers are working on combination therapies, molecular profiling, and real-time monitoring to stay ahead of resistance. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this video offers essential information on overcoming breast cancer resistance.
