Tumor growth requires new blood vessels, driven by an imbalance of angiogenic factors. Antiangiogenic cancer therapy targets this process to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Malignant transformation involves oncogene and tumor suppressor gene mutations.
  • Tumor growth beyond a microscopic size necessitates angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation).
  • Tumor angiogenesis is regulated by the balance of pro-angiogenic factors and anti-angiogenic inhibitors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current development of antiangiogenic therapy for cancer treatment.
  • To discuss the role of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in tumor growth and metastasis.
  • To present research data on antiangiogenic cancer therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on antiangiogenic therapies.
  • Analysis of molecular mechanisms regulating tumor angiogenesis.

  • Presentation of original research data from the authors' laboratory.

    • Main Results:

    • Imbalanced expression of angiogenic factors and inhibitors is crucial for tumor angiogenesis.
    • Tumor-induced angiogenesis supports tumor growth and provides a route for metastasis.
    • Tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis is essential for lymphatic metastasis.
    • Antiangiogenic therapies show promise in inhibiting tumor progression.

    Conclusions:

    • Targeting tumor angiogenesis is a key strategy in cancer treatment.
    • Understanding the molecular basis of angiogenesis is vital for developing effective therapies.
    • Antiangiogenic therapy, supported by research data, offers a viable approach to combat cancer growth and metastasis.
