It is a herculean task among the scientists to find a single  cure for cancer . A research team from the University of East Anglia developed a new technique for cancer treatment. Cancer therapy that could cut off the blood supply to a tumor could be more effective along with the chemotherapeutic drugs. The research study revealed that tumor growth could be reduced by targeting the expression of Beta3-integrin along with microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) chemotherapy. Beta3-integrin was the better anti-angiogenic target since it was expressed in tumor blood vessels, unlike normal cells. Lead researcher Stephen Robinson said,  “Tumours must recruit their own blood supply to grow beyond a very small size and this process is called angiogenesis ; A nti-angiogenic drugs stop tumors from growing their own blood vessels, and this, in turn, can slow the growth of cancer, or shrink it. Targeting angiogenesis is therefore seen as crucial in many anti-cancer strategies; however many an...
