Chapter 8.8, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that why endostatin does not select for drug-resistant cancer cells as other chemotherapy drugs do.
Concept introduction:
Cancer is the uncontrolled division or growth of the cells. Due to uncontrolled division a mass of cells is formed which is known as tumors. Tumors that remain at their site of origin are called as benign and tumors that can migrate to other body tissues are called as malignant tumors.
