Patients for whom standard anticancer treatments fail get reduced treatment effect from existing anticancer drugs or lack drug responsiveness due to anticancer drug resistance.

Cancer chooses a way to survive on its own by avoiding anticancer drugs such as viruses and develops a mechanism of continuous anticancer drug resistance, which eventually leads to the recurrence of cancer due to anticancer drug resistance.

There are two main mechanisms for developing anticancer drug resistance: intrinsic resistance, in which cancer cells do not show drug response due to the presence of resistant cancer cells from the initial administration of the drug; and acquired resistance, in which the cancer cells show anticancer drug resistance due to cancer cell proliferation by selecting a way to survive against the drug after the initial response through continuous administration of the drug.
