Abstract

In this review, cisplatin resistance will be summarized. We will discuss characteristics of potential mechanisms of resistance in tissues from patients with ovarian, colon and breast carcinoma. Secondly, a new molecular biology assay will be discussed which detects changes in gene expression in cisplatin-resistant cells. Finally, based on the biochemical and molecular properties of cisplatin-resistant tumors, new strategies to exploit or circumvent cisplatin resistance in human tumors wil be entertained.
