Acquired drug resistаnce is а mаjоr limitatiоn fоr successful treatment of cancer. Resistance emerges due to drug exclusion, drug metabolism and alteration of the drug target by mutation or over-expression of certain genes - especially regulating the cell cycle and cell to cell communication. In a typical case - a patient may be treated with chemotherapy with some initial success. But the cancer later returns and is found to be immune to the chemotherapy drugs. This is an example of what kind of evolution?
