Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy in Breast Cancer
Neo-angiogenesis is a critical process for tumor growth and invasion and has become a promising target in cancer therapy. This manuscript reviews three currently relevant anti-angiogenic agents targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor system: bevacizumab, ramucirumab and sorafenib. The efficacy of anti-angiogenic drugs in adjuvant therapy or as

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.

Imatinib inhibits VEGF-independent angiogenesis by targeting neuropilin 1-dependent ABL1 activation in endothelial cells. [PDF]
To enable new blood vessel growth, endothelial cells (ECs) express neuropilin 1 (NRP1), and NRP1 associates with the receptor tyrosine kinase VEGFR2 after binding the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF) to enhance arteriogenesis.

Anti-angiogenic activity of the flavonoid precursor 4-hydroxychalcone. [PDF]
Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is necessary for cancerous tumors to keep growing and spreading. Suppression of abnormal angiogenesis may provide therapeutic strategies for the treatment of angiogenesis-dependent disorders.

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 ...

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 ...

Efficacy of tumor-targeting Salmonella typhimurium A1-R in combination with anti-angiogenesis therapy on a pancreatic cancer patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) and cell line mouse models. [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to examine the efficacy of tumor-targeting Salmonella typhimurium A1-R treatment following anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy on VEGF-positive human pancreatic cancer.
