Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Wong and colleagues describe a novel approach of increasing the number of functional blood vessels in tumors using a low-dose therapy regimen of Cilengtide and Verapamil. This method enhanced gemcitabine delivery, uptake, and metabolism within tumor cells to reduce tumor growth and progression.
