Neighboring Non-Cancer Cells May Contribute To Drug Resistance In Skin Cancer
Jul 06, 2012
One of cancer's most frightening characteristics is its ability to return after treatment. In the case of many forms of cancer, including the skin cancer known as melanoma, tailored drugs can eradicate cancer cells in the lab, but often produce only partial, temporary responses in patients...
