Excerpt

Angiogenesis is a promising therapeutic target in treatments aimed at inhibiting tumor growth. Since the study published by Folkman in 1971 that demonstrated that tumor growth is angiogenesis-dependent [1], research has focused on identifying new therapeutic agents that can inhibit angiogenesis. In 2004, bevacizumab was developed as a potent inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and this agent demonstrated modest antitumor activity when combined with chemotherapy. Currently, inhibition of angiogenesis has become a standard treatment option for several tumor types, including colorectal cancer, glioblastoma and ovarian cancer. …
