Question
Chapter 8.8, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that why endostatin does not select for drug-resistant cancer cells as other chemotherapy drugs do.
Concept introduction:
Cancer is the uncontrolled division or growth of the cells. Due to uncontrolled division a mass of cells is formed which is known as tumors. Tumors that remain at their site of origin are called as benign and tumors that can migrate to other body tissues are called as malignant tumors.

Students have asked these similar questions
The current way to gauge the effectiveness of chemotherapy is to track the size of the tumor. If the tumor shrinks, the chemotherapy is said to be "working."
If cancer stem cells really do act the way we think they do, what will be the new way that the effectiveness of chemotherapy will be evaluated?
name any two methods that can possibly cure cancer .
What kinds of chemicals are used in chemotherapy?
How do the drugs get to the tumor?
How do the drugs “kill” the tumor?
What are the side effects?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of chemotherapy?
