How gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) and αvβ3 integrin expression reflect reorganization features of tumors after hyperthermia treatments
Abstract The outcome of tumor treatment via hyperthermia in the clinic has been reported to be heterogeneous. Here, we assessed how the presence of gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) and αvβ3 integrin together with the morphology of the vascularization reflects the growth behavior of tumors a...
