Abstract

The calcium signal is implicated in a variety of processes important in tumor progression (e.g. proliferation and invasiveness). The calcium signal has also been shown to be important in other processes important in cancer progression including the development of resistance to current cancer therapies. In this review, we discuss how Ca2+ channels, pumps and exchangers may be drug targets in some cancer types. We consider what factors should be taken into account when considering an optimal Ca2+ channel, pump or exchanger as a candidate for further assessment as a novel drug target in cancer. We also present and summarize how some therapies for the treatment of cancer intersect with Ca2+ signaling and how pharmacological manipulation of the machinery of Ca2+ signaling could promote the effectiveness of some therapies. We also review new therapeutic opportunities for Ca2+ signal modulators in the context of the tumor microenvironment.
