Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common malignancy and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Chemotherapy based on platinum drugs, 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, and vinorelbine, as well as targeted treatment and immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors improved the prognosis in a portion of patients with advanced esophageal cancer. Unfortunately, a number of esophageal cancer patients develop drug resistance, resulting in poor outcomes. Multiple mechanisms contributing to drug resistance of esophageal cancer have been reported. Notably, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been identified to play crucial roles in modulating esophageal cancer drug resistance. In the present review, we highlight the underlying mechanisms how miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs impact the drug resistance of esophageal cancer. Several miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs may have potential clinical implications as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for esophageal cancer.

Chemotherapy employs anti-cancer drugs to stop the growth of cancerous cells, but one common obstacle to the success is the development of chemoresistance, which leads to failure of the previously effective anti-cancer drugs. Resistance arises from different mechanistic pathways, and in this critical review, we focus on the Fanconi Anemia (FA) pathway in chemoresistance. This pathway has yet to be intensively researched by mainstream cancer researchers. This review aims to inspire a new thrust toward the contribution of the FA pathway to drug resistance in cancer. We believe an indepth understanding of this pathway will open new frontiers to effectively treat drug-resistant cancer.

The mechanisms of chemoresistance and nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for platinum drugs were detailed summarized in this review. The current combination therapy provided an effective strategy to overcome the platinum drug resistance.
