What is the difference between the action of ZYBRESTAT (combretastatin) and anti-angiogenesis drugs?



Combretastatin causes the vascular structure inside a solid tumor to collapse, depriving the tumor of blood and oxygen that it needs to survive.

Anti-angiogenesis drugs attempt to keep new blood vessels from forming and do not act on blood vessels that already feed existing tumors.
