Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Tıbbi Onkoloji Bilimdalı, Ankara
Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth and metastasis.
Targeting angiogenesis is one of the recent progresses in the
therapeutic area of cancer. Gene therapy is one of the promising
strategies in the treatment of cancer. The gene therapy
vectors targeting tumor endothelium carry the great therapeutic
potential in cancer.
