Angiogenesis inhibitors

Angiogenesis inhibitors are medications or substances that block the formation of new blood vessels. In the body, cancer cells often stimulate the growth of blood vessels to supply themselves with nutrients and oxygen, aiding their growth and spread. By inhibiting this process, these drugs can starve tumors, slowing their growth or even causing them to shrink. Angiogenesis inhibitors are used in treating various cancers and some other diseases, helping to disrupt the support system that tumors rely on to thrive. Their development represents an important strategy in cancer treatment and research.
