Cancer Drug Resistance

This template shows a hospitalized cancer patient with a callout to a cluster of cancer cells, surrounded by five numbered mechanisms of cancer drug resistance. These include tumor heterogeneity, tumor growth kinetics, undruggable genomic drivers such as MYC and TP53, selective therapeutic pressure from radiotherapy, and immune evasion involving T cells, MDSCs, M2 macrophages, and cancer-associated fibroblasts.
