  • Imaging tumor sensitivity to a bioreductive prodrug: two for the price of one!

    Brown JM, Clin Cancer Res. 2012; 18 (6): 1487-9

    Hypoxia is an important characteristic of many solid tumors and has a major negative effect on treatment response. A way to combat this effect is with drugs called "bioreductive prodrugs" or "hypoxic cytotoxins," which are metabolized under hypoxia to toxic species. However, the patients with hypoxic tumors need to be identified.
