Strategies to Overcome Intrinsic and Acquired Resistance to Chemoradiotherapy in Head and Neck Cancer by Tycho de Bakker, Anouk Maes, Tatiana Dragan, Philippe Martinive, Sébastien Penninckx, Dirk Van Gestel

“…In this review, we will discuss how overexpression of efflux pumps, perturbation of apoptosis-related factors, increased expression of antioxidants, glucose metabolism, metallotheionein expression, increased DNA repair, cancer stem cells, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, non-coding RNA and the tumour microenvironment contribute towards resistance of HNC to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. These mechanisms have been investigated for years and been exploited for therapeutic gain in resistant patients, paving the way to the development of new promising drugs. …”
