ABSTRACT
Tumor angiogenesis, resulting from the imbalance of angiogenic cytokines and angiogenesis inhibitors, is crucial for tumor growth and metastasis. As a new field of cancer therapy, tumor anti-angiogenesis therapy with regard to abrogation of tumor vasculature has become an important anti-tumor strategy. Gene therapies have the potential to provide antiangiogenic mediators specifically targeted to organs containing tumors and make a great improvement in this therapy. This article reviews the current understanding of tumor angiogenesis, with a focus on gene therapy in this field.
