Angiogenesis in cancer and other diseases

TL;DR: Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer and various ischaemic and inflammatory diseases and integrated understanding is leading to the development of a number of exciting and bold approaches to treat cancer and other diseases, but owing to several unanswered questions, caution is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photodynamic therapy for cancer

TL;DR: PDT is being tested in the clinic for use in oncology — to treat cancers of the head and neck, brain, lung, pancreas, intraperitoneal cavity, breast, prostate and skin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Normalization of Tumor Vasculature: An Emerging Concept in Antiangiogenic Therapy

TL;DR: Emerging evidence supporting an alternative hypothesis is reviewed—that certain antiangiogenic agents can also transiently “normalize” the abnormal structure and function of tumor vasculature to make it more efficient for oxygen and drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanisms and clinical applications of angiogenesis

TL;DR: Preclinical and clinical studies have shown new molecular targets and principles, which may provide avenues for improving the therapeutic benefit from anti-angiogenic strategies.
