Detailed explanation-1: -Anti angiogenic drugs are treatments that stop tumours from growing their own blood vessels. This might slow the growth of the cancer or sometimes shrink it. There are different types of anti angiogenic drugs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Angiogenesis inhibitors are unique cancer-fighting agents because they block the growth of blood vessels that support tumor growth rather than blocking the growth of tumor cells themselves. Angiogenesis inhibitors interfere in several ways with various steps in blood vessel growth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The tumor sends signals that stimulate more blood vessels to grow and carry more blood. Angiogenesis inhibitors, also called anti-angiogenics, block blood vessel growth. By blocking nutrients and oxygen from a tumor, the angiogenesis inhibitors “starve” the tumor.
Detailed explanation-4: -(AN-tee-AN-jee-oh-JEH-nik) Having to do with reducing the growth of new blood vessels.
