Intra-Tumoral Pharmacokinetics of Pazopanib in Combination with Radiotherapy in Patients with Non-Metastatic Soft-Tissue Sarcoma
There is a lack of understanding whether plasma levels of anticancer drugs (such as pazopanib) correlate with intra-tumoral levels and whether the plasma compartment is the best surrogate for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation. Therefore, we aimed to quantify pazopanib concentrations in...
