Dissecting multi drug resistance in head and neck cancer cells using multicellular tumor spheroids

Abstract One of the hallmarks of cancers is their ability to develop resistance against therapeutic agents. Therefore, developing effective in vitro strategies to identify drug resistance remains of paramount importance for successful treatment. One of the ways cancer cells achieve drug resistance i...
