摘要: Angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks cancer, including brain tumors. Malignant gliomas have highest degree vascular proliferation among solid tumors; thus, angiogenic pathways represent an attractive target to interfere with tumor growth. Up date VEGF pathway targeting specific drugs has yielded interesting therapeutics results. In particular bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against VEGF-A, shown clinical activity in malignant gliomas, especially glioblastomas, terms high response rate on MRI and significant increase progression-free survival.
