Redifferentiation therapeutic strategies in cancer

The widely recognized problems of pharmacological strategies based on killing cancer cells demand a rethink of therapeutic approaches. Tumor reversion strategies that aim to shift cancer cells to a healthy differentiated state are a promising alternative. Although many studies have firmly demonstrated the possibility of reverting cancer to a normal differentiated state, we are still unable (with the exception of retinoic acid in a form of leukemia) to revert cancer cells to a stable differentiated healthy state.
