“Using low-dose continuous chemotherapy (LDC) provides continuous suppression of the repair process of the blood vessel, thus robbing tumor cells of their nutritional support. Interestingly, even if a tumor cell is resistant to a particular chemotherapy agent at the maximally tolerated dose, the vascular endothelial cells still are sensitive when LDC is employed.”
