Abstract

Despite recent advances in targeted cancer therapies, drug resistance remains an important setback in tumor control. Understanding the complex mechanisms involved in both innate and acquired drug resistance represents the first step in discovering novel therapeutic agents. Because of its importance in tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis, lipid metabolism is increasingly garnering attention. CD36 is a membrane receptor at the top of the signaling cascade that transports lipids. Its expression has been repeatedly presented as an unfavorable prognostic factor for various tumor types, raising the question: could CD36 be a critical factor in cancer treatment resistance? In our review, we set out to explore the most prominent studies on the implication of CD36 in resistance to platinum-based drugs and other adjuvant cancer therapies in solid and haematological neoplasia. Moreover, we provide an overview of the latest anti-CD36 cancer therapies, thus opening new perspectives for future personalized medicine.

Keywords: CD36, cancer treatment, drug resistance, chemotherapy, lipid metabolism
