To date, despite extensive research, the prognosis of advanced osteosarcoma has not improved significantly. Thus, patients experience a reduced survival rate, suggesting that a reevaluation of current treatment strategies is required. Recently, in addition to routine surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, researchers have explored more effective and safer treatments, including targeted therapy, immunotherapy, anti-angiogenesis therapy, metabolic targets therapy, and nanomedicine therapy. The tumorigenesis and development of osteosarcoma is closely related to angiogenesis. Thus, anti-angiogenesis therapy is crucial to treat osteosarcoma; however, recent clinical trials found that it has insufficient efficacy. To solve this problem, the causes of treatment failure and improve treatment strategies should be investigated. This review focuses on summarizing the pathophysiological mechanisms of angiogenesis in osteosarcoma and recent advances in anti-angiogenesis treatment of osteosarcoma. We also discuss some clinical studies, with the aim of providing new ideas to improve treatment strategies for osteosarcoma and the prognosis of patients.

Background: Some cancer patients derive limited benefit from anti-angiogenic therapy or discontinuation due to adverse reactions. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) plays an important role in regulating angiogenesis in tumors. This study aims to evaluate the association of VEGFR2 polymorphisms with clinical outcomes of anti-angiogenic drugs (AADs) in cancer patients.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) using thermal and tumor microenvironment-responsive reagents is promising for cancer treatment. This study demonstrates an effective PTT nanodrug consisting of hollow-structured, thermally sensitive polydopamine nanobowls (HPDA NB), molybdenum sulfide (MoS) nanozyme, and tirapazamine (TPZ; a hypoxia-responsive drug), with a structure of HPDA@TPZ/MoS NBs which is hereafter denoted as HPTZMoS NBs. With the Fenton-like activity, the HPTZMoS NBs in the presence of HO catalyze the formation of hydroxyl radicals, providing chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effect and deactivating glutathione.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major public health threat due to its high incidence and mortality rates. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), the primary treatment for intermediate-to-advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), commonly utilizes embolic agents loaded with anthracycline-based cytotoxic drugs. Post-TACE, the hypoxic microenvironment in the tumor induced by embolization stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, potentially leading to revascularization and diminishing TACE's efficacy.

Combination therapy with anti-angiogenic drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown enhanced clinical activity and has been approved for the treatment of multiple tumor types. Despite extensive research, predictive biomarkers for combination therapy remain poorly understood. Microvessel density (MVD), a surrogate marker for aberrant angiogenesis measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC), has been associated with response to monotherapy with anti-angiogenesis inhibitors.

Currently, hormonal therapy for endometriosis faces challenges in achieving a balance between treatment and preserving the chance of pregnancy. Therefore, the development of non-hormonal therapy holds significant clinical importance. Angiogenesis is a hallmark of endometriosis, and anti-angiogenic therapies targeting the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) pathway are considered potential approaches for endometriosis.
