Recent concepts of antiangiogenic therapy

Abstract

In 2004, a randomized, controlled phase III clinical trial showed that the addition of bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, to conventional chemotherapy prolonged the survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. A number of clinical trials are presently underway to test the utility of several angiogenic inhibitors against a variety of malignancies. The original concept of antiangiogenic therapy was the inhibition of outgrowth of new blood vessels; however, it soon became evident that bevacizumab could affect the vasculature through various mechanisms. Recent studies have shown that antiangiogenic agents can normalize the tumor vasculature and prevent the recruitment of endothelial progenitor cells from the bone marrow. Some preclinical studies have also shown that antiangiogenic agents prevent metastasis by modulating the premetastatic niche. Understanding these detailed mechanisms provides the rationale for combination therapy using antiangiogenic agents and cytotoxic chemotherapy, and will lead to more effective treatment strategies. In this review, we summarize the present understanding of the mechanisms of action of antiangiogenic agents and discuss the future prospects of antiangiogenic therapies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
