Abstract
In most solid tumors the tissue pO2 status is poorer than in normal tissue at the site of tumor growth (for reviews see Vaupel et al., 1996, 1998; Vaupel and Hoeckel, 1998). Peculiarities of tumor tissue oxygenation can mainly be attributed to characteristic structural and functional abnormalities of the tumor microcirculation (perfusion-limited O2 delivery), to a deterioration of the diffusion-geometry (diffusion-limited O2 delivery), and—in some cases—to a reduced O2 carrying capacity of the blood due to tumor-associated anemia.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
