Abstract:
Many cytotoxic therapies are available for patients with metastatic breast cancer, but response rates are low and acquired or de novo resistance is virtually universal. Among the agents that are used in the treatment of pretreated metastatic breast cancer are vinorelbine, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, pemetrexed, platinum salts (eg, cisplatin, carboplatin), pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, etoposide, and irinotecan. Therapies that improve overall survival in patients with anthracycline- and taxane-resistant metastatic breast cancer are needed.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
