title: [Antiangiogenic therapy].
abstract: Tumor vasculature is a promising novel target for anticancer treatment. Natural or synthetic products have been developed, and endogenous inhibitors such as angiostatin have been extensively analyzed. Several inhibitors are currently under investigation, and many compounds are tested in pre-clinical trials. This review provides an overview of the antiangiogenic treatments as well as early clinical result with these agents.
