Future or Investigational Therapies

Therapies based on growth factor inhibitors are in the experimental stage. These inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs), of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), and of angiopoietin-related growth factor (AGF) include imatinib, sunitinib, temozolide, thalidomide, sorafenib, and panitumumab.
