Overcoming the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP): a complex mechanism of resistance in the treatment of cancer

Senescence is a cellular state in which cells undergo persistent cell cycle arrest in response to nonlethal stress. In the treatment of cancer, senescence induction is a potent method of suppressing tumour cell proliferation. In spite of this, senescent cancer cells and adjacent nontransformed cells...

description Senescence is a cellular state in which cells undergo persistent cell cycle arrest in response to nonlethal stress. In the treatment of cancer, senescence induction is a potent method of suppressing tumour cell proliferation. In spite of this, senescent cancer cells and adjacent nontransformed cells of the tumour microenvironment can remain metabolically active, resulting in paradoxical secretion of pro‐inflammatory factors, collectively termed the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
