Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant type of bone cancer in children and adolescents. Chemotherapy is one of the most important treatments for OS. Although cancer therapy has improved over the past few decades, survival outcomes for OS patients remain unsatisfactory. One of the primary reasons for the failure of current treatments is that patients with stage IV cancer often develop resistance to anticancer agents. This article will review multidrug resistance (MDR) mechanisms of OS and strategies for overcoming resistance.Entities:
