Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hypoxia, which results from an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption, is one of the key features of the tumour microenvironment. Its complicating role in tumour progression through the regulation of angiogenesis, metastasis, immune evasion, and resistance to therapy continues to draw our attention towards targeting hypoxia and its relevant factors, in order to enhance cancer patient outcome.
This Special Issue focuses on presenting our knowledge about tumour hypoxia, covering our past, current, and future understanding. It will present an overview of how our attempts to assess and target hypoxia have evolved over time and introduce new perspectives from leading experts in the field. We hope that this issue can provide a platform for further research and development in this field.
