Lapatinib and poziotinib overcome ABCB1-mediated paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer.

Conventional frontline treatment for ovarian cancer consists of successive chemotherapy cycles of paclitaxel and platinum. Despite the initial favorable responses for most patients, chemotherapy resistance frequently leads to recurrent or refractory disease. New treatment strategies that circumvent...
