Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, considerable advances have been made in understanding tumor-driving mechanisms, which have fueled the development of novel therapeutic approaches benefitting many patients. The major progress is represented by the further development of immunotherapy and targeted therapy with small molecules, e.g., KRASG12C-specific inhibitors. Despite this considerable progress, cancer is an evolving disease, and resistance develops almost immediately and is found in clinics.
The current Special Issue addresses the emerging questions of how these forms of resistance occur and reveal the underlying mechanisms. The collation of more detailed knowledge obtained from experts of different cancer research fields addressing the relationships of molecular mechanisms and resistances occurring in clinics offers a great opportunity to promote an improved understanding and the development of resistance-overcoming approaches.
