Chemotherapy remains the mainstay means for treatment of malignancies either by cytotoxicity or cytostasis. DNA damage and subsequent induction of apoptosis is the primary mechanism of cytotoxic drugs like antimetabolites and alkylating agents (Rixe and Fojo, 2007).

Cytostasis (i) TGF-[beta] can activate cytostatic gene responses at any point in the cell cycle phases G1, S, or G2 [112] (ii) TGF-[beta] induces activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors [113-115] and repression of the growth- promoting transcription factors c-MYC and inhibitors of differentiation (ID1, ID2, and ID3) [116].
