Abstract: Angiogenesis is essential for cancer growth and metastasis, which is a crucial process as it furnishes tumor cell with enough nutrients and oxygen.Tumor size can be reduced and metastasis of tumor be blocked if the formation of new blood vessel networks is prevented.As the features of angiogenesis inhibitors are of low toxicity and have less acquired resistance, it comes to a new strategy to suppress tumor growth by restraining angiogenesis.

Key words: tumor, angiogenesis, MMPs, inhibitor
