Tumour vasculature--a potential therapeutic target.

C T Baillie 1, M C Winslet 1, N J Bradley 1
PMCID: PMC2034004  PMID: 7543770

Abstract

The tumour vasculature is vital for the establishment, growth and metastasis of solid tumours. Its physiological properties limit the effectiveness of conventional anti-cancer strategies. Therapeutic approaches directed at the tumour vasculature are reviewed, suggesting the potential of anti-angiogenesis and the targeting of vascular proliferation antigens as cancer treatments.
