Abstract
Current generation of targeted cancer drugs in the treatment of solid cancers, with the exceptions of trastuzumab and vemurafenib , resistance and disease progression limit the effectiveness of most signal transduction inhibitors available. Epigenomic drugs and microRNAs-based agents represent one of promising categories in clinical development to increase tumor cells sensitivity to combined therapeutics. Here, I discuss latest data and perspectives in overcoming current therapy resistance by treating solid tumors.
