With a need for effective treatment modalities in prostate cancer, angiogenesis is a likely target for the interference of tumor progression. Angiogenesis promotes the vasculature of a tumor, allowing for tumor progression and for cancer cells to metastasize and spread throughout the circulatory system. To date, there are > 20 antiangiogenic drugs undergoing preclinical and clinical investigation alone and in conjunction with other treatment options to determine the validity of antiangiogenic agents in the treatment of prostate cancer. This article reviews several aspects of antiangiogenesis and its relationship to the treatment of prostate cancer.
