摘要: Solid tumors require blood vessels for growth, and many new cancer therapies are directed against the tumor vasculature. The widely held view is that these antiangiogenic should destroy vasculature, thereby depriving of oxygen nutrients. Here, I review emerging evidence supporting an alternative hypothesis-that certain agents can also transiently "normalize" abnormal structure function vasculature to make it more efficient drug delivery. Drugs induce vascular normalization alleviate hypoxia increase efficacy conventional if both carefully scheduled. A better understanding molecular cellular underpinnings may ultimately lead effective not only but diseases with as well regenerative medicine, in which goal create maintain a functionally normal
