title: [Role of nitric oxide in tumor growth].
abstract: This review article will analyze the role of nitric oxide in antiblastomous organism resistance, in particular some mechanisms of NO-mediated apoptosis in different cells and NO involvement in etiological mechanisms as well as tumor growth promotion. The possible mechanisms of nitric oxide dual effect are discussed. The data about NO as a mediator in different methods of cancer treatment are given. In conclusion, we have determined some principles of application of NO-modulating agents in cancer therapy.
