The incidence of melanomas has grown world-wide. Besides representing a potential problem of public health for its increasing incidence, melanomas are tumors of difficult treatment, especially when diagnosed in advanced phases. The clinical objective response rate does not exceed 30% in these cases. The molecular bases of chemoresistance are not completely clarified and their understandin…
Melanoma incidence is increasing worldwide. Besides its increasing importance in Public Health, melanomas represent a clinical challenge, as their treatment outcome is still poor. Objective responses to chemotherapy is usually lower than 30% in the more advanced cases. The molecular bases for chemoresistance are poorly understood so far. Many authors propose that on knowing the molecular …
Unlike untransformed cells, tumor cells use the glycolysis as the primary source of energy, even when sufficient oxygen is available for oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria (Warburg effect). Recently, tumor subpopulations that are able to utilize mitochondria as the primary energy source have been discovered. These subpopulations are highly resistant to different types chemother…
