{"title":"Why Cancer Therapies Fail","description":"<p>The main reason for the failure of cancer therapies is the unfathomably rapid development of drug resistance. It is commonly believed that therapy resistance is similar to how bacteria evolve and develop resistance to antibiotics: a process of Darwinian evolution, driven by random mutations and survival-of-the-fittest cancer cell. But ISB researchers discovered that cancer therapy resistance does not follow the Darwinian mechanism of evolution but, instead, cancer cells actively adapt to the external threat.<\/p>","url":"http:\/\/isbmolecularme.com\/new-principle-of-chemo-resistance-sheds-light-on-evasiveness-of-cancer-cells\/"}
