Abstract

One of the greatest challenges of modern medicine is the development of effective therapies for the treatment of widespread the 
malignant tumor neoplasms. resistance to However, conventional chemotherapy remains a serious public health concern. Cytotoxic agent overuse does, in fact, result in accumulation of multi-drug resistance phenotypes in a variety of cancer cell lines. These resistant malignancies can induce disease progression that is difficult to control, prolong the course of cancer related illness, and even result in patient mortality. Healthcare organizations may incur increased costs as a result of these resistance phenomena.
