The idea of antiangiogenesis as a therapeutic strategy has been around for several decades (1). Vigorously pursued as a novel anticancer strategy (reviewed in (2-6), it is now widely considered to be a promising approach to the treatment of a range of pathologies of which uncontrolled vascular proliferation is a component (see Table 1). To date, therapeutic benefit has been achieved with antiangiogenic therapy in the treatment of life-threatening infantile hemangioma, pulmonary hemangiomatosis, and in the treatment of some vascular tumors (7,8).
