Popis: Traditional methods of improving cancer therapy have focused primarily on achieving increased tumor cell kill. However, more recent strategies involve impairing the nutritional support system of the tumor by targeting the tumor vasculature. Rapid developments in this field in recent years have resulted in the identification of a variety of potential targets and a large number of investigational drugs, many of which are now in clinical development. In the following paper the authors review vascular disrupting therapies.
