Even though main mechanisms of resistance are the same in different types of tumours there are specific signalling pathways involved in resistance in hematological malignancies and of course specific treatments
In 11 chapters, Resistance in Hematologic Malignancies and Cancer describes the development of treatment resistance in hematological malignancies, the role of MiRNA in resistance, the role of the immune system in resistance prediction, as well as the latest knowledge from clinical research.
It gives insight in the complex information about different mechanisms linkage in final loss of cell sensitivity to drug treatment, the orientation in metabolic pathways that could be involved in depressed leukemia cell resistance to drugs and gives information about causes of drug resistance in leukemia cells.
By the multidisciplinary approach of the processing this book is a valuable resource for both health professionals, scientists and researchers, health practitioners, students, but will also enable members of the general professional public to orientate themselves in issues that are not directly in their area of expertise
- Describes the different mechanisms of resistance; cooperation in net resistance to antileukemic drugs
- Provides hallmark information about cell regulation pathways in drug resistance development
- Brings information about causes of drug resistance in leukemia and hematologic malignancies including lymphoma and myeloma

Lucia Messingerova
After completing her studies, Dr. Messingerova started working at the Slovak Technical University, Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology, as well as at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in the Centre for Biosciences, where she leads a team dealing with the development of resistance to hypomethylating agents (HMAs) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In her work, she focuses on changes in apoptotic pathways, transport, and metabolism of HMAs in sensitive and resistant AML cell lines. The goal of her team's work is to identify an easily and quickly detectable marker of response to HMA treatment, since it is known that after the failure of this treatment in patients unsuitable for intensive therapy, only the possibility of inclusion in clinical trials or palliative care remains.
