Abstract

It is important to survey the molecular targets which are involved in tumor angiogenesis for the development of antiangiogenic agents as one of the cancer therapy. This article is meant to review the recent molecular targets of tumor angiogenesis and the molecular mechanism of antiangiogenic agents in human clinical trials.
