Targeting tumor pressure is an emerging area of research. By reducing the interstitial fluid pressure, it may be possible to improve blood flow and enhance the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. Several approaches are being investigated:
1. Anti-Angiogenic Therapy: Drugs that normalize blood vessel formation can help reduce interstitial pressure. 2. Enzymatic Degradation: Enzymes that break down extracellular matrix components can help lower pressure. 3. Mechanical Interventions: Techniques like focused ultrasound can be used to reduce pressure within tumors.
