Regulation of transport pathways in tumor vessels: Role of tumor type and microenvironment

TL;DR: Delivery may be less efficient in cranial tumors than in subcutaneous tumors, delivery may be reduced during tumor regression induced by hormonal ablation, and permeability to a molecule is independent of pore cutoff size as long as the diameter of the molecule is much less than the pore diameter.
