Continuous VEGF inhibition: a promising treatment strategy

A stable target that is continually expressed

One important question in angiogenesis research is: for how long should inhibition of various pro-angiogenic factors be maintained? As preclinical evidence now suggests, because VEGF is thought to be genetically stable and continuously expressed, it can potentially be targeted throughout tumour development. This section also explores the rationale for continued VEGF inhibition.
