Abstract

Synthetic glucocorticoids serve as co-medication against solid malignant tumors. However, glucocorticoid receptor activation may promote unsolicited cancer resistance to chemotherapy. The Kang team elucidated a glucocorticoid receptor-centred chemotherapy-resistance mechanism to cisplatin and characterized avenues towards a viable escape strategy.
