title: [Study on tumor cells' multidrug resistance and its reversion by Chinese herbs].
abstract: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is an important biological behavior of tumor cells in chemotherapy. And it is also one of the major causes of clinical chemotherapy failure. According to the literature at home and abroad, and combining with the results of authors' investigations, this paper mainly discusses the mechanism of tumor cells' MDR and its reversion by Chinese herbs.
