Abstract:
Objective: This article reviews the effect of curcumin against tumor angiogenesis from view-points of cancer
microcirculation and biomarkers. Results and conclusion. We demonstrated an anti-angiogenic effect of curcumin in tumors using nude mice. We
studied the inhibitory effects of curcumin on tumor-induced neocapillaries and proangiogenic factors, based on
our intravital fluorescent observation. Finally, we hypothesized a possible mechanism for curcumin effect in
tumor.
