Abstract

Hypoxic metabolism in solid tumor reduces chemoradiotherapy effect and become the obstacle in tumor therapy. Gene therapy is the most promising tumor treatment method, but currently using carriers cannot target tumors accurately. Anaerobic bacteria has become the transferring carrier in tumor gene therapy because it has tendency to hypoxia in solid tumors and can target solid tumors more accurately.
