...combination of angiostatin and endostatin appears to eliminate tumors in mice," beyond detectable levels, Folkman said...

Injections of two such proteins--angiostatin and endostatin--into mice with cancerous tumors eventually hampered the growth of the tumors. The proteins caused the tumors to shrink, and eventually, to stop growing back...
