摘要: In tumor biology both the EGF(R) and VEGF(R) pathway are constitutively activated due to genetic abnormalities ongoing tumor-associated hypoxia. addition, pathways can be by anticancer therapies such as chemotherapy radiotherapy, which contributes resistance these treatments. Moreover, VEGF modulates EGFR signaling EGF induces activity. Therefore, logical targets for therapy, because of their parallel reciprocal activation, dual inhibition makes sense. this chapter we discuss possibilities integrated anti-angiogenesis therapy directed at two biological systems.
