In this regard, a previous study by Seervi et al. reported an increased expression of exportin 1 (XPO1) gene in anastatic breast and cervical cancer cells recovered after transition treatment with etoposide and paclitaxel as anticancer compounds (XPO1 gene encodes a nuclear export protein which is involved in the promotion of acquired drug resistance). This evidence concerns the gene XPO1 and cervical carcinoma.
