A common strategy to stop tumor growth is to cut the tumor's blood supply, usually by inhibiting angiogenic factors such as the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, recent evidence suggests that anti-angiogenic therapy could also enhance tumor growth and invasiveness in the long-term [1].
