Tumors, it turns out, cannot grow much beyond the size of a peppercorn without an ever expanding network of blood vessels. Clinicians are testing more than a dozen treatments aimed at halting that process, including some old-line drugs that have turned out to have antiangiogenic properties. Thalidomide, which caused devastating birth defects in some 12,000 children worldwide before it was withdrawn in the early 1960s, is finding a new lease on life against multiple myeloma and liver cancers. Pharmaceutical giant Bristol-Myers Squibb is testing an antiangiogenic drug that was initially developed to keep cancer from worming...

The idea behind this new class of drugs is that tumors cannot grow bigger than a few hundred thousand cells--about the size of a peppercorn--without growing their own blood-supply system. Researchers and patients, not to mention the owners of stock in half a dozen biotech companies, are eagerly awaiting results of clinical trials of antiangiogenic factors, which might be used in combination with chemotherapy to knock down big tumors and then prevent any surviving tumors from growing...
