A turning point for cancer,
a milestone for anti-angiogenesis

 


The US Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a new type of cancer drug, which works by preventing the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors.

Avastin was approved for use in conjunction with standard chemotherapy for patients with colon cancer that has spread to other parts of the body... [The drug] grew out of a new cancer-fighting theory first proposed in 1970 by Dr. Judah Folkman, a surgeon at Children's Hospital Boston....

"Avastin turns a theory into a therapy," said Folkman. "That's exciting to see. I'm very proud of this effort."
