RESUMO
In recent years,molecular biology has rapidly devel-oped,and molecular targeted therapy of non-small cell lung cancer has become a hot spot for the research. Although the tar-geted therapy has a big advantage compared with traditional chemotherapy,it is inevitable to encounter drug resistance in targeted therapy. Therefore,drug resistance has become the sig-nificant obstacle of targeted drugs for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Curcumin is the main extract of tu-meric rhizome,which harbours a wide range of antitumor activi-ties,and several studies have identified that curcumin exhibits reversion drug resistance against a variety of cancer cells. How-ever,there are few studies on curcumin reversion molecular tar-geted drug resistance. This review summarizes the recent pro-gress in resistance mechanism of targeted drug and the reversion resistance of curcumin.
