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.

Lycopene inhibits angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and rat aortic rings [PDF]
Angiogenesis is important for tumour vascularisation and growth, and is therefore a promising target for cancer therapy. The present study reports inhibition ofin vitroangiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as well as in rat ...

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

Ten years of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy [PDF]
The targeting of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), a crucial regulator of both normal and pathological angiogenesis, has revealed innovative therapeutic approaches in oncology and ophthalmology. The first VEGFA inhibitor, bevacizumab, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2004 for the first-line treatment of metastatic ...

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 therapy for malignant glioma [PDF]
Glioblastomas are among the most vascular tumors because they oversecrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent stimulator of angiogenesis. Consequently, new drug regimens are being developed to target the VEGF signaling pathway in an attempt to halt tumor growth.

Thromboembolic events in patients treated with anti-angiogenic drugs [PDF]
Induction of neo-angiogenesis is a fundamental step in many pathological conditions. The therapeutic value of inhibiting angiogenesis is an interesting area of research in oncology, with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) being the most suitable ...
