Background/aim: For second-line chemotherapy of soft-tissue sarcoma, gemcitabine is administered in combination with docetaxel. However, more effective treatments are required for advanced soft-tissue sarcoma, where the efficacy is limited. The purpose of the present study was to compare the efficacy of rMETase and gemcitabine against HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells and Hs27 normal fibroblasts, as well as to identify and effectively treat HT1080 cells that are resistant to gemcitabine associated with elevated c-MYC.
