Novel therapeutic approach to counter the recruitment of circulating endothelial progenitor cells to tumors

Luis R Espinoza. Expert Rev Clin Immunol. 2006 Nov.

Abstract

Evaluation of: Shaked Y, Ciarrocchi A, Franco M et al. Therapy-induced acute recruitment of circulating endothelial progenitor cells to tumors. Science 313, 1785-1787 (2006). Recently gathered evidence indicates that bone marrow-derived circulating endothelial progenitor cells can contribute to tumor angiogenesis and the growth of certain tumors. The paper under evaluation presents a novel therapeutic approach that disrupts the recruitment of these cells by tumors, therefore facilitating the antitumor activity of chemotherapeutic agents.
