title: [Angiogenesis in brain neoplasms--biological and clinical aspects].
abstract: Solid tumors are dependent on angiogenesis for sustained growth, therefore anti-angiogenic treatment is a potential antineoplastic therapy. Glioblastoma multiforme has been considered a suitable candidate for such treatment. This review summarizes the fundamentals of angiogenic process in glioblastoma multiforme and in other types of brain tumors for which they represent a potential for anti-angiogenic therapy.
