Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer in the world, and drug resistance is one of the most significant barriers to successful therapy for the disease. It is critical to have a solid understanding of the molecular processes driving treatment resistance in breast cancer to design targeted therapies with the potential to overcome this resistance. These complex and multifaceted mechanisms include the activation of signaling pathways that promote cell survival and proliferation, the upregulation of drug efflux pumps, the emergence of cancer stem cells, and genetic and epigenetic changes. This literature review provides an overview of these mechanisms. It discusses potential strategies for overcoming drug resistance in breast cancer, including targeted therapies that specifically target the pathways and mechanisms involved in drug resistance. The review also highlights the need for further research to identify effective strategies for overcoming drug resistance and improving treatment outcomes in breast cancer patients.
