Radiation-induced changes in microcirculation and interstitial fluid pressure affecting the delivery of macromolecules and nanotherapeutics to tumors
The immature, chaotic microvasculature of most solid tumors can present a significant impediment to blood-borne delivery, uneven distribution and compromised penetration of macromolecular anticancer drugs and diagnostic agents from tumor microvessels across the interstitial space to cancer cells. To...
