Blood perfusion and microenvironment of human tumors : implications for clinical radiooncology

摘要: This is a summary of knowledge on blood perfusion and the microenvironment human tumours, designed to enable reader gain deeper insight into physiological components malignant tumours. Among range topics, consideration given circulatory parameters, including nutrient supply, transvascular interstitial transport, oxygenation, as well bioenergetic status influence pH responsiveness tumours nonsurgical treatments such radiotherapy chemotherapy. The clinician may find it useful read about various invasive non-invasive methods (including MR PET) that allow tumour physiology an individual patient be characterized.
