Fenretinide as an anti-angiogenic agent in neuroblastoma

Cancer Lett. 2003 Jul 18;197(1-2):181-4. doi: 10.1016/s0304-3835(03)00105-8.

Abstract

Angiogenesis is a critical event in the progression of human neuroblastoma. This mini-review summarizes our literature and experimental data concerning the use of anti-angiogenic molecules, such as TNP-470 and fenretinide, in neuroblastoma treatment.
