Description: This volume covers all important aspects of drug resistance in leukemia and lymphoma. General mechanisms of resistance are discussed, including the drug resistance related proteins, MRP (multi drug resistance protein) and LRP (lung resistance protein), and the role of glutathione and glutathione-S-transferases, as well as drug-specific mechanisms of resistance, apoptosis and its regulators and modulation of drug resistance.
