Journal ArticleDOI

Delivery of molecular and cellular medicine to solid tumors1PII of original article: S0169-409X(97)00027-6. The article was originally published in Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 26 (1997) 71–90.1

TL;DR: A paradigm of analysis and synthesis has allowed us to obtain a better understanding of physiological barriers in solid tumors, and to develop novel strategies to exploit and/or to overcome these barriers for improved cancer detection and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malignant cells facilitate lung metastasis by bringing their own soil

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that partial depletion of the carcinoma-associated fibroblasts, which spontaneously spread to the lung tissue along with metastatic cancer cells, significantly decreases the number of metastases and extends survival after primary tumor resection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular normalization as an emerging strategy to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

TL;DR: The local and systemic effects of VEGF on tumor immunity are discussed and a potentially translatable strategy to re-engineer the tumor-immune microenvironment and improve cancer immunotherapy by using lower "vascular normalizing" doses of antiangiogenic agents is proposed.
