【Abstract】Objective  To introduce the progress on clinic trial of antiangiogenic breast cancer therapy.
Methods  The current literatures on progress on clinic trial of antiangiogenic breast cancer therapy were reviewed. Results Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer. Concentrated efforts in this area of research are leading to the discovery of a growing number of antiangiogenic molecules, more than 30 of which are already on clinical trial. About 10 of angiogenic inhibitors are already on clinical trial of antiangiogenic breast cancer therapy. Most of them are in clinical phase Ⅰ or Ⅱ studies and a few, however, have progressed to phase III evaluation. Some results show that angiogenic inhibitors can reduce the toxicity and be less likely to generate drug resistance than conventional cytotoxic drugs. Conclusion  Pathological angiogenesis is indeed essential for breast cancer metastasis and recurrence. Antiangiogenesis can cause regression of the breast cancer and provide a optimum stragy to treat the breast cancer.
