Exploiting tumour hypoxia in cancer treatment

JM Brown, WR Wilson - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2004 - nature.com

Targeting hypoxia in cancer therapy

WR Wilson, MP Hay - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2011 - nature.com
Hypoxia is a feature of most tumours, albeit with variable incidence and severity within a

Tumor hypoxia in cancer therapy

JM Brown - Methods in enzymology, 2007 - Elsevier
Human solid tumors are invariably less well‐oxygenated than the normal tissues from which
they arose. This so‐called tumor hypoxia leads to resistance to radiotherapy and anticancer …
