Hypoxia in microscopic tumors.

Abstract:

:Tumor hypoxia has been commonly observed in a broad spectrum of primary solid malignancies. Hypoxia is associated with tumor progression, increased aggressiveness, enhanced metastatic potential and poor prognosis. Hypoxic tumor cells are resistant to radiotherapy and some forms of chemotherapy. Using an animal model, we recently showed that microscopic tumors less than 1mm diameter were severely hypoxic. In this review, models and techniques for the study of hypoxia in microscopic tumors are discussed.

  • Effect of dihydrokainate on the antitumor activity of doxorubicin.

    abstract::For biochemical modulation, components of green tea have been shown to be useful modulators in combination with doxorubicin (DOX). We have confirmed that theanine enhances the antitumor activity of DOX due to inhibition of DOX efflux from tumor cells. Because theanine is a glutamate analogue, we found that it is assoc...
