Chemotherapy remains the main treatment option for patients with several tumor types. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Salvador-Barbero et al. demonstrate that treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors after application of taxanes (or other chemotherapeutic compounds) strongly potentiates the anti-tumor effect due to repression of DNA repair machinery.
化疗仍然是多种肿瘤类型患者的主要治疗选择。在本期《癌细胞》杂志上,Salvador-Barbero 等人证明,在应用紫杉烷(或其他化疗药物)后使用 CDK4/6 抑制剂治疗,由于抑制了 DNA 修复机制,可显著增强抗肿瘤作用。
