Abstract:
Nitric oxide(NO) is a kind of gas with the character of free radical,taking part in the generation,development and metastasis of the tumor.On the one hand,NO kills the tumor via macrophage and endothelial cells.On the other hand,NO accelerates the growth of tumor by promoting the growth of blood vessels and increasing the blood flow. Further study of NO will bring the hope of exploring the generation and development of tumors, and finding the new methods of treatment.
