Abstract
Nasopharyngeal cancer is a rare cancer with unique ethnic and geographic distribution. Since nasopharyngeal cancer often originates from the pharyngeal crypt, early symptoms are not obvious. They are difficult to detect in time, and the disease is usually diagnosed and treated only when it has progressed to an advanced-stage. Since angiogenesis is essential for the growth and invasion of solid tumors, antiangiogenic therapy has become a common treatment strategy for many solid tumors, and it has also achieved remarkable results in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is prone to recurrence and distant metastasis. In this paper, we review the latest research progress of antiangiogenic drugs for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and their antiangiogenic mechanism of action and further propose some promising antiangiogenic therapeutic targets.
