摘要: Recent preclinical studies have suggested that radiotherapy in combination with antiangiogenic/vasculature-targeting agents enhances the therapeutic ratio of ionizing radiation. Because is one most widely used treatments for cancer, it important to understand how best use these two modalities aid design rational patient protocols. The mechanisms interaction between and radiation are complex involve interactions tumor stroma vasculature cells themselves. These can decrease overall resistance by affecting both vasculature, thereby breaking codependent cycle growth angiogenesis. antiangiogenic/vascular targeting not fully understood, ideal way this potentially powerful cure has yet be determined. We described a number possible antiangiogenic
