Tumor growth occurs secondary to suppression of apoptosis, cell proliferation cell differentiation, and angiogenesis. Neovascularization requires endothelial cell adhesion and migration. Integrins play a partial role in all of these processes through the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling cascade. Cilengitide, an integrin antagonist, provides a multifaceted approach to preventing tumor progression
