Abstract:
Metronomic chemotherapy involves antiangiogenic processes that help host to fight against cancer by using continuous low dose drugs.Metronomic chemotherapy can be an effective treatment option for patients with head and neck carcinoma,breast cancer,gastrointestinal cancer,ovarian and prostate cancer. Metronomic chemotherapy also involves multiple mechanisms that include antiangiogenesis,immune stimulation and direct tumor cell targeting effects.We need to carefully evaluate the clinical effects of combination chemo-therapies that incorporate the other treatment schedules.
