Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, provides oxygen and nutrients to actively proliferating tumor cells. Hence, it represents a critical aspect of tumor progression and metastasis. Because inhibition of angiogenesis represents a major approach to cancer treatment, the development of inhibitors of angiogenesis is a major challenge. The first FDA approved anti-angiogenic drug bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), has been approved for the treatment of metastatic colorectal, lung, breast, and kidney cancers. The encouraging results have lead to the development, in the past few years, of other agents targeting angiogenic pathways as potent anti-cancer drugs and a number of them have been approved for metastatic breast, lung, kidney, and central nervous system cancers. Despite a statistically significant increase in progression free survival, which has accelerated FDA approval, no major benefit to overall survival was described and patients inevitably relapsed due to acquired resistance. However, while progression free survival was increased by only a few months for the majority of the patients, some clearly benefited from the treatment with a real increase in life span. The objective of this review is to present an overview of the different treatments targeting angiogenesis, their efficacy and the mechanisms of resistance that have been identified in different cancer types. It is essential to understand how resistance (primary or acquired over time) develops and how it may be overcome. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
