Strategies for Overcoming Chemotherapy Resistance in Cervical Cancer: From Molecular Insights to Precision Solutions, Volume 21 highlights different strategies to reverse chemotherapy resistance in cervical cancer. The book puts a strong focus on strategies to reverse chemotherapy resistance as well as strategies for early detection of the resistance, enhancing precision oncology in terms of patient care and maximizing patient management. The book also looks at virally induced resistance to chemotherapy and recommends combination therapies that can maximize the reversal of this resistance.

In 10 chapters, the book not only gives an overview of cervical cancer and chemotherapy as treatment, but also investigates resistance to chemotherapy and treatment for resistance. It defines treatment mechanisms, options, and limitations to beat chemotherapy resistance and the reversal of the resistance mechanisms. It gives insights into future directions of cervical cancer treatment using epigenetic silencing, chemotherapy splicing, the involvement of MicroRNAs to chemotherapy resistance, and the application of Artificial Intelligence.
