Abstract: | Inhibition of tumor angiogenesis is an attractive target in cancer therapy. In this context, receptor tyrosine kinases play a pivotal role. Extensive efforts have been made to identify and develop small-molecule inhibitors of these central signaling proteins. Some of these compounds have already passed or are currently in clinical trials to investigate their applicability as anti-cancer drugs. However, the high expectations that are set in antiangiogenic therapy have not yet been accomplished. But there are also new and exciting opportunities for cancer treatment by combining antiangiogenic molecules with newly emerging therapeutics. |
