From the reviews: "This book uses cancer as the focus to discuss both the mechanistic events causing multi-drug resistance and the potential ways to mitigate it. ... In summary, this book provides a good overview of the development and treatment of multi-drug resistance in cancer. ... each individual chapter covers a specific area in an easy-to-read manner, which should leave the reader with a better understanding of the topic." (Nick Plant, BTS Newsletter, Issue 37, Winter, 2010) "The topics covered in this 21-chapter volume have been provided by leading experts in the field. ... The chapters are generally well written and clear. ... This provides a full picture on what is going on in this exciting field. ... this book offers a comprehensive survey of the fields of knowledge and research concerning cancer multi-drug resistance mechanisms and reversal strategies. In this way, it is relevant for basic and clinical investigators, for the less experienced and mature researchers ... ." (Rolf W. Hartmann, ChemMedChem, Vol. 6 (3), 2011)
