Employing tumor hypoxia for oncolytic therapy in breast cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Hypoxia is a common tumor condition associated with metastases, therapeutic resistance, and poor patient survival. Forty percent of breast cancers are hypoxic, with a median oxygen concentration of 3.9%, and a third of tumors have regions less than 0.3%. Normal breast tissue is reported to have oxygen concentrations greater than 9%. This tumor hypoxia in breast cancer confers resistance to conventional radiation...
