The central importance of tumour neovascularization has been emphasized by clinical trials using antiangiogenic therapy in breast cancer. This review gives a background to breast tumour neovascularization in in situ and invasive breast cancer, outlines the mechanisms by which this is achieved and discusses the influence of the microenvironment, focusing on hypoxia. The regulation of angiogenesis and the antivascular agents that are used in an antiangiogenic dosing schedule, both novel and conventional, are also summarized.
使用抗血管生成疗法治疗乳腺癌的临床试验已强调了肿瘤新生血管形成的核心重要性。本综述介绍了原位和浸润性乳腺癌中乳腺肿瘤新生血管形成的背景,概述了实现这一过程的机制,并讨论了微环境的影响,重点是缺氧。还总结了血管生成的调节以及用于抗血管生成给药方案的抗血管生成药物,包括新型和传统药物。
