| 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 |

| Process through which new blood vessels. Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, plays a crucial role in cancer progression and metastasis. Tumors require a blood supply to grow beyond a certain size and to spread to other parts of the body. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): VEGF is one of the most important pro-angiogenic factors. It stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration, leading to the formation of new blood vessels. Many tumors overexpress VEGF, which correlates with poor prognosis. Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF): In response to low oxygen levels (hypoxia), tumors can activate HIF, which in turn promotes the expression of VEGF and other angiogenic factors. This mechanism allows tumors to adapt to their microenvironment and sustain growth. |
