摘要
To investigate the influence of anti-angiogenesis drug Endostatin on solid tumor angiogenesis, a mathematical model of tumor angiogenesis was developed with combined influences of local extra-cellular matrix mechanical environment, and the inhibiting effects of Angiostatin and Endostatin. Simulation results show that Angiostatin and Endostatin can effectively inhibit the process of tumor angiogenesis, and decrease the number of blood vessels in the tumor. The present model could be used as a valid theoretical method in the investigation of anti-angiogenic therapy of tumors.
