Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors as Sensitizing Agents for Chemotherapy, the fourth volume in the Cancer Sensitizing Agents for Chemotherapy Series, focuses on strategic combination therapies that involve a variety of tyrosine kinase inhibitors working together to overcome multi-drug resistance in cancer cells. The book discusses several tyrosine kinase inhibitors that have been used as sensitizing agents, such as EGFR, BCR-ABL, ALK and BRAF. In each chapter, readers will find comprehensive knowledge on the inhibitor and its action, including its biochemical, genetic, and molecular mechanisms' emphases. This book is a valuable source for oncologists, cancer researchers and those interested in applying new sensitizing agents to their research in clinical practice and in trials.

Dr Bonavida has vast expertise and various reported publications in the field of tumor cell sensitization to chemotherapy (a total of greater than 500 publications) and in particular the novel role of Nitric Oxide (NO) donors in chemo-sensitization and reversal of drug resistance. In addition, he was the first scientist to co-organize an international meeting on the topic (First International Workshop on NO and Cancer, 2005).

Interior is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show rubbing and short creases to corners. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book focuses on the use of protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer treatment. Drawing from experimental and clinical research, it documents the biochemical, genetic, and molecular mechanisms by which PKIs sensitize tumors to chemotherapeutic agents. It offers 15 detailed review chapters, each addressing a distinct molecular target or signaling pathway, with implications for both solid and hematologic malignancies. The work serves as a reference for cancer researchers, oncologists, and clinicians designing or evaluating combinatory treatment strategies in the context of MDR. The introductory framework outlines the rationale for combining kinase inhibitors with chemotherapy. Resistance mechanisms - ranging from altered signal transduction to enhanced drug efflux via ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters - are central to treatment failure. The editors present kinase inhibitors as modulators that can reverse such resistance by targeting dysregulated pathways, thereby enhancing chemosensitivity and lowering effective drug doses. Chapters 1 through 4 focus on well-characterized tyrosine kinase pathways, beginning with EGFR and HER2, whose inhibitors (e.g., gefitinib, osimertinib) restore chemosensitivity in tumors with high ABC transporter activity. BCR-ABL inhibitors, such as imatinib, are examined for their dual role in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment and their regulatory effect on transporter expression. The VEGF/VEGFR axis and its blockade (e.g., with bevacizumab) is considered from an antiangiogenic perspective, while ALK inhibitors are reviewed for their ability to resensitize tumor cells through transporter modulation. Chapters 5-10 broaden the scope to include STAT3, FLT3, BTK, CDKs, and Bcl-2 - targets implicated in apoptosis evasion, aberrant cell cycling, and survival signaling. STAT3, though not yet clinically inhibited, is presented as a key future target due to its central role in oncogenesis. FLT3 inhibitors (e.g., midostaurin) are explored in acute myeloid leukemia, with attention to their impact on drug uptake and blood-brain barrier permeability. BTK inhibitors, particularly ibrutinib, are analyzed for their combination potential in hematologic malignancies. CDK inhibitors (e.g., palbociclib) and Bcl-2 antagonists are detailed in relation to phase-specific chemosensitization and apoptosis restoration. Chapters 11 to 15 cover kinase-related mechanisms and lesser-studied inhibitors, including Plk1, BRAF, and JAK modulators, which indirectly affect drug resistance via ABC transporter interactions. The PI3K/Akt pathway is reviewed in two chapters: first as a general resistance driver and target for sensitization, then in the broader context of mTOR and IGF signaling. These sections present the rationale for dual inhibition and review several trials combining these agents with cytotoxic therapies. The final chapter addresses MDM2/p53 interactions and their inhibition as a route to restoring tumor suppressor function, particularly in cancers with intact but suppressed p53 activity. Emphasis is placed throughout on mechanistic understanding as a prerequisite for therapeutic intervention. Each chapter includes summaries of preclinical data, clinical trials where available, and potential off-target effects. The book provides a modular yet comprehensive reference for designing synergistic cancer therapies involving kinase-targeted agents. It consolidates current targets and inhibitors with translational potential and contextualizes emerging therapies within molecular resistance frameworks to support evidence-based treatment decisions.
