Metronomic therapy is a form of chemotherapy in which anticancer drugs are given repeatedly at a lower dose than the maximum tolerated dose, over a long period of time, with the goal of treating cancer with fewer side effects. It is understood to act on both the tumor's own cells and the surrounding tumor microenvironment, including the blood vessels that supply a tumor.
