Children with muscle cancer commonly develop resistance to therapy. This is a major problem and most kids will die from resistant disease. Our group has developed a new combination of drugs to kill muscle cancers and is now being tested in kids and young adults. Yet, drug resistance to this same combination has been reported in other cancers and may develop in our patients. Our work will uncover how resistance develops and identify a new drug that can restore sensitivity to chemotherapy. This work is important because the new drugs we identify could be used to treat kids in the future.
