A review of trabectedin (ET-743): a unique mechanism of action.

abstract：:Angiogenesis is required for tumor growth and metastasis, and targeting angiogenesis is a novel anticancer strategy. However, cancer development is a complex multistep process, and single antiangiogenic agents have limited therapeutic efficacy. Here, we report a triple fusion protein, namely CTT peptide-endostatin mim...
