Achieving better clinical outcomes in cancer research requires a deeper understanding of tumoral biology and the application of this knowledge within a clinic setting. The aim of this review is to briefly summarize the current knowledge on H3R molecular pharmacology, the clinical use of H3R antagonists, and the most recent findings reporting H3R role in cancer biology. We will discuss in detail the current landscape and clinical perspectives of the modulation of this H3R on cancer progression and treatment. We propose H3R as a promising molecular target for cancer drug repurposing and development.

Cancer Therapies
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...
