  2. Mitotic inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitotic_inhibitor

    Drugs can enter into a cell in few kinds of ways. Major routes are: diffusion across the plasma membrane, through receptor or transporter or by the endocytosis process. Cancer can develop the resistance by mutations to their cells which result in alterations in the surface of cells or in impaired endocytosis.

  3. Antineoplastic resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antineoplastic_resistance

    Antineoplastic resistance, often used interchangeably with chemotherapy resistance, is the resistance of neoplastic (cancerous) cells, or the ability of cancer cells to survive and grow despite anti-cancer therapies. [1] In some cases, cancers can evolve resistance to multiple drugs, called multiple drug resistance.

  4. Cancer pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_pain

    Pain in cancer can be produced by mechanical (e.g. pinching) or chemical (e.g. inflammation) stimulation of specialized pain-signalling nerve endings found in most parts of the body (called nociceptive pain), or it may be caused by diseased, damaged or compressed nerves, in which case it is called neuropathic pain.

  5. Warburg hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_hypothesis

    Scientist Otto Warburg, whose research activities led to the formulation of the Warburg hypothesis for explaining the root cause of cancer.. The Warburg hypothesis (/ ˈ v ɑːr b ʊər ɡ /), sometimes known as the Warburg theory of cancer, postulates that the driver of carcinogenesis (cancer formation) is insufficient cellular respiration caused by insult (damage) to mitochondria. [1]

  6. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsteroidal_anti...

    NSAIDs cause decreased ability to form blood clots, which can increase the risk of bleeding when combined with other drugs that also decrease blood clotting, such as warfarin. [ 113 ] NSAIDs may aggravate hypertension (high blood pressure) and thereby antagonize the effect of antihypertensives , [ 113 ] such as ACE inhibitors .

  7. Bone marrow suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow_suppression

    Because the bone marrow is the manufacturing center of blood cells, the suppression of bone marrow activity causes a deficiency of blood cells. This condition can rapidly lead to life-threatening infection, as the body cannot produce leukocytes in response to invading bacteria and viruses, as well as leading to anaemia due to a lack of red ...

    The chemical, which is the active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup, can allegedly cause cancer. The oat products tested were made by General Mills, including several Cheerios varieties and ...

  9. Chemotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotherapy

    There are a few possible causes of resistance in cancer, one of which is the presence of small pumps on the surface of cancer cells that actively move chemotherapy from inside the cell to the outside. Cancer cells produce high amounts of these pumps, known as p-glycoprotein, in order to protect themselves from chemotherapeutics. Research on p ...
