Box 2. Effects of antiangiogenic and antivascular therapeutics.

Antiangiogenic therapy
• Inhibition of growth factor support of neovasculature.
• Reduced permeability.
• Reduced perfusion.
• Reduced blood volume.
 
Antivascular therapy
• Collapse of proliferating vasculature.
• Possible collapse of mature tumour vasculature.
• Loss of permeable vasculature.
• Reduced perfusion/flow.
• Reduced blood volume.
• Reduced tortuosity.
