Anti-angiogenic therapies for the treatment of angiosarcoma: a clinical update [PDF]
Summary: Angiosarcomas are rare aggressive endothelial tumours, and are associated with a poor prognosis. Due to their vascular nature, there is great interest in their response to anti-angiogenic agents.

Anti Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Agents in Corneal Neovascularization
Corneal neovascularisation is a potentially blinding condition, an established risk factor for rejection and results in loss of immune privilege. It may occur as a normal physiologic healing response to various stimuli or as an inappropriate local tissue

The clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of cetuximab (mono- or combination chemotherapy), bevacizumab (combination with non-oxaliplatin chemotherapy) and panitumumab (monotherapy) for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer after first-line chemotherapy (review of technology appraisal No.150 and part review of technology appraisal No. 118): a systematic review and economic model [PDF]
Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK after breast and lung cancer. People with metastatic disease who are sufficiently fit are usually treated with active chemotherapy as first- or second-line therapy.

Immunohistochemical Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Its Correlation with Tumor Grade in Breast Ductal Carcinoma [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in female, after lung cancer. Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth and metastasis; therefore, antiangiogenesis strategies for treatment of cancer are currently an issue of interest. The

Hypoxia-induced reactive oxygen species cause chromosomal abnormalities in endothelial cells in the tumor microenvironment. [PDF]
There is much evidence that hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment enhances tumor progression. In an earlier study, we reported abnormal phenotypes of tumor-associated endothelial cells such as those resistant to chemotherapy and chromosomal instability ...
