“…The introduction of the first chemotherapeutics into clinical practice already happened in the 1950s, and their ability to cure childhood leukemia and Hodgkin lymphoma since the 1960s was a milestone [ 31 ] . Today, the vast majority of cancer patients still receive chemotherapy to control the disease despite the progress in various other fields of oncology such as surgery, radiotherapy, stem cell therapy, targeted therapy, and immune therapy [ 32 ] . Resistance to chemotherapeutics poses a severe problem and new therapies are sought to overcome cancer resistance [ 33 ] .…”

Decades ago, the viral myeloblastosis oncogene v -myb was identified as a gene responsible for the development of avian leukemia. However, the relevance of MYB proteins for human cancer diseases, in particular for solid tumors, remained basically unrecognized for a very long time. The human family of MYB transcription factors comprises MYB (c-MYB), MYBL2 (b-MYB), and MYBL1 (a-MYB), which are overexpressed in several cancers and are associated with cancer progression and resistance to anticancer drugs. In addition to overexpression, the presence of activated MYB-fusion proteins as tumor drivers was described in certain cancers. The identification of anticancer drug resistance mediated by MYB proteins and their underlying mechanisms are of great importance in understanding failures of current therapies and establishing new and more efficient therapy regimens. In addition, new drug candidates targeting MYB transcription factor activity and signaling have emerged as a promising class of potential anticancer therapeutics that could tackle MYB-dependent drug-resistant cancers in a more selective way. This review describes the correlation of MYB transcription factors with the formation and persistence of cancer resistance to various approved and investigational anticancer drugs.
