Abstract

Angiogenesis is essential for the development and growth of tumors. It is a highly regulated process that requires cross‐talk between signaling pathways at all stages of blood vessel development and tumor growth, from the recruitment of endothelial cells to vessel maturation. This review summarizes tumor angiogenesis and describes the key signaling pathways governing blood vessel development. The role of angiogenesis in various tumor types is discussed, but the focus is on invasive breast cancer, a disease that will affect ∼182,000 women in the USA in 2008. Research efforts over the past decade have identified numerous potential, as well as proven therapies with activity in breast cancer. These include chemotherapeutics as well as therapies that inhibit specific angiogenic pathways known as targeted agents. Some of the data from single‐ and multitargeted antiangiogenic agents are described in this review. “Published 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Background. The growth of solid tumors, including head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, depends on the establishment of a blood supply within the tumor (neovascularization or angiogenesis). For this process to take place, tumors produce growth factors which stimulate the proliferation, migration,

## Abstract The initiation of new blood vessels through angiogenesis is critical to tumor growth. Tumor cells release soluble angiogenic factors that induce neovascularization, without which nutrients and oxygen would not be available to allow tumors to grow more than 2–3 mm in diameter.

There is now a substantial body of evidence that tumor growth is angiogenesisdependent, and that neovascularization is also necessary for tumor invasion and metastasis. In addition, the assessment of microvessel count or density in a primary tumor may ultimately prove to be a significant and indepen
