For the future development, Cancer Drug Resistance (Cancer Drug Resist) held its first strategic planning symposium on August 26, 2016 and all team members joined it. This meeting aimed to discuss the planning and development strategies by inviting Prof. Peters. According to the orientation of the journal, Prof. Peters said that current academic journals on cancer drugs cover many areas on drug metabolism, pharmacology, drug actions, drug development, biomarkers and many more items, but a specific journal on cancer drug resistance does not exist, except for a general review journal Drug Resistance Update. Therefore, he expects that the planned journal has a great development prospect.
