Hypoxia and cancer : biological implications and therapeutic opportunities / Giovanni Melillo, editor.

The tremendous progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor hypoxias has generated a great deal of enthusiasm and provides new opportunities to better understand and target the tumor microenvironment. This book emphasizes how changes in oxygen levels in the tumor microe...
