Advanced imaging of ovarian tumor samples shows that PARP inhibitors can become trapped in lysosomes, creating internal drug reservoirs that may influence treatment resistance and effectiveness. doi.org/hbswwr

Hidden drug reservoirs in cancer cells could explain treatment resistance

One of oncology's biggest challenges is that the same treatment can work well for some patients but fail completely in others.
