Comparison of tumor oxygenation improvement strategies applied in cancer therapy.

Strategies Advantages Disadvantages
Oxygen generation in situ High tumor selectivity Low amount of endogenous H2 O2 in tumor
Direct oxygen delivery Simple and direct Possible oxygen leakage during circulation
Improving blood flow Endogenous O2 supply Relative high phototoxicity Poor depth penetration
Decreasing oxygen consumption Sustained Limited oxygen enhancement effect
