Glioma angiogenesis is mediated by angiogenic factors that induce an abnormal, inefficient vascular network. Several proangiogenic molecules have been identified in brain tumors ( Table 1). The ...

Glioblastoma multiforme is an extreme example. Antiangiogenic therapy has been combined with radiotherapy with mixed results: additive or synergistic tumor growth delay, or reduced response.

Angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) is a ligand of the receptor tyrosine kinase TIE2 (TEK). In conjunction with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), ANGPT2-TIE2 signaling induces vascular sprouting.

Treatment options for patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common form of malignant gliomas, now include anti-angiogenic therapy after failure of standard multi-modality treatments.

Ovarian Cancer Targeted Medication: PARP Inhibitors, Anti-Angiogenic Drugs, Immunotherapy, and More Ovarian cancer is the malignancy with the highest rate of death from tumors of the female ...
