Antiangiogenic therapy with recombinant human endostatin may improve blood perfusion of cervical node with necrosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients: a preliminary study by usi... by Zhendong Yang, Huimin Xiao, Xigui Li, Zhuxin Wei, Min Kang, Rensheng Wang, Jianyuan Huang

“…The MTT of day 5 after AT became obviously shorter than the MTT of the day before AT [28.08 ± 3.03 (s) vs. 33.76 ± 6.20 (s), p = 0.001].ConclusionThese results revealed that the blood volume and the blood flow velocity in the microvessels of the CNN increased after AT, indicating that AT with RHES may improve blood perfusion in the CNN of NPC, thus providing valuable insights for the clinical application of AT combined with RT and/or chemotherapy in NPC patients with CNN. …”
