| Abstract | The tumor vasculature is an increasingly attractive target for development of anticancer drugs. The fundamental principle for antiangiogenic cancer therapy is based on the inhibitory effect of chemical compounds, proteins or nucleotides on tumor angiogenesis. Indeed, in almost all preclinical tumor models, antiangiogenic monotherapy with different agents shows potent effects on suppression of tumor growth. However, antiangiogenic monotherapy has barely produced any clinical benefits in cancer patients. Although in combination with chemotherapy some antiangiogenic drugs demonstrate survival improvement in patients with certain types of cancers, the overall benefits by addition of antiangiogenic drugs (ADs) to chemotherapy remain modest. The disparity of AD responses between preclinical models and clinical cancer patients has raised important issues, which include: 1) Are current animal tumor models appropriate for assessing the therapeutic efficacy of ADs for clinical development? 2) What are the key differences between mouse tumor models and human cancer patients? 3) Are anti-VEGF drugs off target in cancer patients? 4) What are alternative options for improvement of the clinical benefits of ADs? In this short review, I discuss these critical issues in relation to the clinical practice of ADs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
