Description
Cediranib is a pan-VEGFR inhibitor that displays anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-angiogenic activities. Cediranib is currently in clinical trials and displays activity against a wide variety of cancers. In an animal model of intestinal cancer, cediranib decreases lesion number and polyp size, and in a separate animal model of brain metastasis, cediranib decreases tumor vascular bed volume.
