Utilizing Positron Emission Tomography to Detect Functional Changes Following Drug Therapy in a Renal Cell Carcinoma Mouse Model
DownloadSpring 2013
Sunitinib is currently the first line drug therapy for metastasizing renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It has been shown to have a profound effect on tumor angiogenesis leading to modifications of the tumor’s microenvironment. Tumor hypoxia plays an important role in the metastatic potential of a solid...
