SUMMARY
The goals of the Cancer Vascular Biology and Angiogenesis focus group include a) developing coordinated efforts focused on understanding the basic biology of abnormal vascular development and function in cancer, b) identifying potential agents with anti-angiogenic activity for potential use in cancer, c) understanding the molecular mechanisms by which such agents inhibit the development and/or function of the tumor vasculature, d) identifying novel vascular targets for development of angiogenesis inhibitors, e) supporting early phase clinical trials through mechanistic translational research, and the development biomarkers as surrogates for drug efficacy.
