Applications and mechanism of some clinical common medications used as anti-cancer therapy sensitizer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

A number of medications have been proved to be able to either improve the antitumor effect of chemotherapeutics and molecular targeted drugs or reverse the resistance of tumors to chemotherapeutics and molecular targeted drugs,which are not traditionally used as anticancer drugs.Especially for late-stage tumors after multiple treatments,these agents are good alternatives when used independently or in combination with chemotherapeutics and molecular targeted drugs.These drugs include proton modulators,hypoglycemic agents and cardiovascular agents,etc.
