摘要
Tumor-induced angiogenesis is essential for malignant growth. This mini review focuses on the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) and their receptors in this process, and the rationale to combine inhibitors of these growth factors as anticancer therapy. Concomitantly, targeting the VEGF(R) and the EGF(R) signaling pathway may circumvent the problem of acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitors. By targeting both pathways, the antiangiogenic effect may be more pronounced, which may lead to greater antitumor activity. Preliminary efficacy data from clinical trials encourage further exploration of this combined anticancer strategy. (c) 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
