Abstract:14053 Background: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may participate in tumor angiogenesis by providing cellular supply. This is a study that compares the effects of two conventional combination chemotherapy schedules to low-dose metronomic trofosfamide (an oral derivate of cyclophosphamide), using the number of circulating EPCs and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plasma levels in cancer patients. Methods: We measured circulating EPC and VEGF levels in 24 patients that received conventional chemoth… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
