Sumario:Angiogenesis is a known hallmark in cancer and plays a crucial role in ovarian cancer carcinogenesis and invasion. Anti- angiogenic agents are active in ovarian cancer treatment either as monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy, immunotherapy or poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. We review the mechanism of action, clinical activity and safety profile of the most important drugs either in the actual treatment or in current evaluation in the ovarian cancer treatment scenario (neoadjuvant, first line and relapse).
