Abstract
The development of refractory disease in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is frequently associated with the expression of one or several multidrug resistance (MDR) genes. MDR1, MRP1 and LRP have been identified as important adverse prognostic factors in AML. Recently it has become possible to reverse clinical multidrug resistance by blocking P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux. The potential relevance of MDR and new approaches to treat refractory disease, are discussed. Copyright 2001 Harcourt Publishers Ltd.Entities:
