摘要
Inappropriate suppression of apoptosis is strongly implicated in tumorigenesis. Tumor development is heralded by the mutation of tumor suppressor genes and overexpression of anti-apoptotic genes permitting cell survival. Thus, inducing the apoptotic process in various ways can be applied to cancer management. Besides, angiogenesis is a crucial process for tumor growth and metastasis. New strategies targeting fundamental play-markers of the angiogenic process are currently under investigation. (c) 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
