Abstract EN
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world after cardiovascular diseases.
Some types of cancer cells often travel to other parts of the body through blood circulation or lymph vessels, where they begin to grow.
This process is recognized as metastasis.
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from existing vessel.
Normally angiogenesis is a healthy process, that helps the body to heal wounds and repair damaged body tissues, whereas in cancerous condition this process supports new blood vessels formation that provide a tumor with its own blood supply, nutrients and allow it to grow.
The most important proximal factor for angiogenesis is the vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF.
Angioinhibition is a form of targeted therapy that uses drugs to stop tumors from making new blood vessels.
Therefore, in this paper we analyse the importance of VEGF as target of cancer therapy, analysing murine models.
