The lack of therapy and the failure of existing therapy has been a challenge for clinicians in
treating various cancers. Doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, and paclitaxel are the first-line
therapy in various cancers; however, toxicity, resistance, and treatment failure limit their
clinical use. Their status leads us to discover and investigate more targeted therapy with
more efficacy. In this article, we dissect literature from the patient perspective, the tumor
biology perspective, therapy-induced metastasis, and cell data generated in the laboratory.
