Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors have largely failed to improve survival in adult astrocytoma patients.
Quoted textsource-backed
Although targeted therapies, such as small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), have shown benefits in other solid tumors, they have largely failed to improve survival in adult astrocytoma patients.
Adult astrocytomas are characterized by marked heterogeneity and robust drug resistance mechanisms.
Quoted textsource-backed
Characterized by remarkable heterogeneity, these tumors develop robust drug resistance mechanisms.
The molecular processes driving resistance to small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors in adult astrocytoma are complex and not yet fully understood.
