Anti-angiogenesis for cancer: Current status and prospects.

Abstract
Since the establishment of tumor angiogenesis as a therapeutic target, new, effective antiangiogenic agents have been developed. Despite their demonstrable clinical benefits, these therapies often have only a short-term effect, with limited impact on the overall survival of cancer patients. A question in the development of these drugs concerns their optimal use in combination regimens with newer therapeutic strategies. Here we review the current therapeutic settings combining anti-angiogenesis inhibitors with chemotherapy, PARP inhibitors or immune checkpoint blockers, focusing on ovarian cancer as tumor model.
