Copper-Lowering Therapy With Tetrathiomolybdate for Cancer and Diseases of Fibrosis and Inflammation
Angiogenesis is required for tumor growth and is a likely Achilles heel for cancer. However, antiangiogenic agents have been somewhat disappointing in cancer therapy, perhaps because they target a single angiogenic factor, and there is much redundancy in angiogenic systems. Copper is required for high levels of angiogenesis, and many angiogenic factors have a requirement for copper. Thus, antic...
متن کاملAntiangiogenesis in prostate cancer Review Article
Metastatic prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death. While androgen ablation is an effective initial modality, progression of disease is eventually occurred in majority patients. The benefit of chemotherapy in overall survival is still unclear. Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role for the growth, invasion, and metastasis of prostate cancer. Therefore, antiangiogenesis is...
متن کاملGene therapy for antiangiogenesis.
Angiogenesis inhibitors have evolved as a new diverse class of compounds that can be used to block tumor growth (1,2). The inhibitors, which may be natural or synthetic, include protease inhibitors (i.e., tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases), tyrosine kinase inhibitors, chemokines, interleukins, and proteolytic fragments of diverse molecules (i.e., endostatin, vasostatin, canstatin, ...
متن کاملTargeted cancer therapy: review article
Cancer is one of the most dangerous health problems of today modern societies which has an increasing rate especially in developing countries. There are many diverse ongoing treatment attempts trying to defeat cancer. Despite that, scientists have been unable to find a permanent cure for this disease. In many cases although there is a successful first response in patients, cancer cells are fina...
متن کاملClinical Trials of Antiangiogenesis Therapy on Gastric Cancer
Both malignant tumor growth and metastasis are dependent upon angiogenesis, a process of new blood vessel formation. Inhibition of this process by specific inhibitors might be able to control tumor growth and metastasis. Therefore, antiangiogenesis thereapy is considered a promising strategy and being studied worldwide. A wide variety of angiogenesis inhibitors have been identified and some of ...
