Therapies that overwhelm cancers with reactive oxygen species are gaining clinical attention because they may target diseased tissue over normal tissue.
Cancer cells have dysregulated metabolism that leads to excessive reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress.
Tumors upregulate antioxidant defenses for viability but remain sensitive to additional oxidant perturbations.
Available genetic tools for targeted ROS production are used in both cellular and organismal models and emphasize spatial and temporal control.
