Abstract:
We report the case of a patient with a large Buschke-Lowenstein tumour which had previously recurred following local excision. A preferred treatment modality for this rare variant of human papillomavirus has not been clearly defined. Treatment with chemo-radiotherapy in this case resulted in complete resolution of the disease without the need for further surgical intervention.

02:56Treatment Resistent Cancers
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
