Angiogenesis and current antiangiogenic strategies for the treatment of cancer

Rahmi Oklu et al. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2010 Dec.

Abstract

Angiogenesis is a complex process critical for embryonic development and for survival. It is also a critical player in many pathologic processes, most notably in neoplasia. The cell signaling pathways involved in angiogenesis have become key targets for drug design, with more than 2,500 clinical trials currently under way. This review summarizes the essential features of angiogenesis and discusses therapeutic strategies that have been applied to specific diseases known to be associated with perturbation of normal angiogenic control.
