Toenail fungal drug can block angiogenesis
Filed under: Drug, All Cancers, Research, Daily news

The drug, itraconazole, is FDA approved for human use, which may fast-track its availability as an anti-cancer drug.
If you are interested in reading more about Angiogenesis and cancer growth you can read my post back in July.
The researchers at this point have yet to determine exactly how itraconazole works to stop vessel growth.
