D-loop mutations in mitochondrial DNA are a risk factor for chemotherapy resistance in esophageal cancer

Abstract Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive disease, and acquired resistance to chemotherapy remains a significant hurdle in its treatment. mtDNA, crucial for cellular energy production, is prone to mutations at a higher rate than nuclear DNA. These mutations can accumulate and disrupt cellula...
