anib, a new oral angiogenesis inhibitor, has demonstrated interesting activity in hard-to-treat non-small-cell lung cancer, US researchers report. "To my knowledge, no other results on the effect of angiogenesis inhibitors in early stage operable lung cancer have been published," said Prof. Nasser Altorki from Weil Medical College of Cornell University in New York. The results indicate a highly active drug in this setting and further development in lung cancer is underway to fully understand the value of this drug in this disease.
