Do cancer cells have apoptosis? - Answer-no
What is the primary reason multiple chemotherapy agents are used to treat cancer? - Answer-resistance
to single chemotherapy agents can develop
Why do we use multiple chemotherapy agents? - Answer-to overcome drug resistance and give a
broader range of coverage against naturally resistant tumor cells
