Role and treatment strategy of hypoxia in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Hypoxia environment plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma such as stimulating angiogenesis,increasing bone destructiong,epithelial-mesenchymal transition and drug resis-tance.Thus,there are many therapeutic strategies targeting the hypoxic environment of multiple myeloma,such as hypoxia-activated prodrug and molecular targeting inhibitors.Targeting the hypoxic environment is a promis-ing therapy for multiple myeloma in the future.
