Abstract

In this short review, we aim to bring together the most recent evidence implicating mismatch repair pathway defects as a cause of drug resistance to a spectrum of chemotherapeutic agents in a variety of cancers. Experimental and clinical studies are discussed and possible strategies that may be employed to overcome the multidrug resistant phenotype afforded by such defects.
