Abstract:
This review explores the pivotal role of angiogenesis in breast cancer progression and treatment. It covers biomarkers, imaging techniques, therapeutic approaches, resistance mechanisms, and clinical implications. Key topics include Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors, angiopoietins, microRNA signatures, and circulating endothelial cells as biomarkers, along with Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography Angiography, Ultrasound, and Positron Emission Tomography for imaging. Therapeutic strategies targeting VEGF, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and the intersection of angiogenesis with immunotherapy are discussed. Challenges such as resistance mechanisms and personalized medicine approaches are addressed. Clinical implications, prognostic value, and the future direction of angiogenesis-targeted therapies are highlighted. The article concludes with reflections on the transformative potential of understanding angiogenesis.
