Abstract:
Advances in molecular biology have permitted the characterisation of mechanisms underlying angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is a crucial process in tumour pathogenesis as it sustains malignant cells with nutrients and oxygen. It is well known that tumour cells secrete various growth factors including VEGF, which triggers endothelial cells to form new capillaries. Preventing the expansion of new blood vessel networks results in reduced tumour size and metastases. Not surprisingly, numerous drugs that are currently under clinical development interfere with growth factor-derived angiogenic signals. This review aims to describe angiogenesis inhibitors and surveys their different modes of action.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
