Breast Cancer Resistance to Cyclin-Dependent Kinases 4/6 Inhibitors: Intricacy of the Molecular Mechanisms

Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, with a highest incidence and mortality among all of the female malignant tumors. Notably, targeted therapy has achieved impressive success in the treatment of breast cancer. As one class of the anti-tumor targeted therapeutics, Cyclin-Dependent Kin...

As one class of the anti-tumor targeted therapeutics, Cyclin-Dependent Kinases 4/6CDK4/6inhibitors have shown good clinical activity in treating breast cancer.
