Analysis of anti-cancer drug penetration through multicell layers in vitro. The development and evaluation of an in vitro model for assessing the impact of convective fluid flow on drug penetration through avascular cancer tissues.

High interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) in tumours is recognized as a barrier to drug delivery resulting in reduced efficacy. High IFP impedes the normal process of convective fluid flow (CFF) from blood vessels into the interstitium. The aim of this study was to develop an in vitro model that could...
