| Metronomic chemotherapy refers to the therapeutic strategy of administering chemotherapeutic drugs at relatively low, minimally toxic doses on a frequent or continuous schedule without extended rest periods. This dosing regimen contrasts with traditional maximum tolerated dose (MTD) chemotherapy, which involves high doses given intermittently with breaks to allow patient recovery. -The drugs are given in lower doses and more frequently (often daily or multiple times a week) -Aims to consistently impair tumor growth mechanisms and potentially minimize the chance for cancer cells to recover -Aims to consistently impair tumor growth mechanisms and potentially minimize the chance for cancer cells to recover -With a lower dose intensity, patients often experience fewer and less severe side effects |

| A signal protein produced by many cells that stimulates the formation of blood vessels.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a signal protein that plays a crucial role in angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels form from existing ones. This process is vital for normal physiological functions, such as wound healing and the menstrual cycle, but it is also a key factor in the growth and spread of tumors in cancer. Because of its significant role in tumor growth and progression, VEGF has become a target for cancer therapies. Anti-VEGF therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies (e.g., bevacizumab) and small molecule inhibitors, aim to inhibit the action of VEGF, thereby reducing blood supply to tumors and limiting their growth. These therapies have been used in various types of cancer, including colorectal, lung, and breast cancer. |
