Abstract
Intratumoral injection of anticancer agents has limited efficacy and is not routinely used for most cancers. In this study, we aimed to improve the efficacy of intratumoral chemotherapy using a novel approach comprising peri-tumoral injection of sustained-release liposomal nanoparticles containing phenylephrine, which is a potent vasoconstrictor. Using a preclinical model of melanoma, we have previously shown that systemically administered (intravenous) phenylephrine could transiently shunt blood flow to the tumor at the time of drug delivery, which in turn improved antitumor responses. This approach was called dynamic control of tumor-associated vessels. Herein, we used liposomal phenylephrine nanoparticles as a "local" dynamic control strategy for the B16 melanoma. Local dynamic control was shown to increase the retention and exposure time of tumors to intratumorally injected chemotherapy (melphalan). C57BL/6 mice bearing B16 tumors were treated with intratumoral melphalan and peri-tumoral injection of sustained-release liposomal phenylephrine nanoparticles (i.e., the local dynamic control protocol). These mice had statistically significantly improved antitumor responses compared to melphalan alone (p = 0.0011), whereby 58.3% obtained long-term complete clinical response. Our novel approach of local dynamic control demonstrated significantly enhanced antitumor efficacy and is the subject of future clinical trials being designed by our group.

Abstract
In this review, we discuss the effectiveness of drug delivery system based on metal nanoparticles, and also, describe the problems associated with their delivery to tumor cells. Throughout recent years, more reports have appeared in the literature that demonstrate promising results for the treatment of various types of cancer using metal-based nanoparticles. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, metal nanoparticles are effectively being used for the delivery of drug to the tumor cells, for cancer diagnosis and treatment. They can also be synthesized allowing the control of size and shape. However, the effectiveness of the metal nanoparticles for cancer treatment largely depends on their stability, biocompatibility, and ability to selectively affect tumor cells after their systemic or local administration. Another major problem associated with metal nanoparticles is their ability to overcome tumor tissue barriers such as atypical blood vessel structure, dense and rigid extracellular matrix, and high pressure of tumor interstitial fluid. The review also describes the design of tumor drug delivery systems that are based on metal nanoparticles. The mechanism of action of metal nanoparticles on cancer cells is also discussed. Considering the therapeutic safety and toxicity of metal nanoparticles, the prospects for their use for future clinical applications are being currently reviewed.

Abstract
The term "molecular ZIP (or area) codes" refers to an originally hypothetical system of cell adhesion molecules that would control cell trafficking in the body. Subsequent discovery of the integrins, cadherins, and other cell adhesion molecules confirmed this hypothesis. The recognition system encompassing integrins and their ligands came particularly close to fulfilling the original ZIP code hypothesis, as multiple integrins with closely related specificities mediate cell adhesion by binding to an RGD or related sequence in various extracellular matrix proteins. Diseased tissues have their own molecular addresses that, although not necessarily involved in cell trafficking, can be made use of in targeted drug delivery. This article discusses the molecular basis of ZIP codes and the extensive effort under way to harness them for drug delivery purposes.

Abstract
Agents for tumor vascular infarction are recently developed therapeutic agents for the vascular destruction of tumors. They can suppress the progression of the tumor by preventing the flow of nutrition and oxygen to its tissues. Agents of tumor vascular infarction can be divided into three categories according to the differences in their pathways of action: those that use the thrombin-activating pathway, fibrin-activating pathway, and platelet-activating pathway. However, poor targeting ability, low permeation, and potential side-effects restrict the development of the corresponding drugs. Biomaterials can subtly avoid these drawbacks to suppress the tumor. In this article, the authors summarize currently used biomaterials for tumor infarction therapy with the goal of identifying its mechanism, and discuss outstanding deficiencies in methods of this kind.

Abstract
Aim: VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors may help immune checkpoint inhibitors expand the population that will benefit from treatment. The authors investigated the efficacy of combined bevacizumab and PD-1 antibody. Materials & methods: C57BL/6J mice were injected subcutaneously with 1 × 106 Lewis lung carcinoma cells. The mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.25 mg anti-PD-1 inhibitors and/or 15 mg/kg bevacizumab. Tumor tissues were harvested. The authors reported that a non-small cell lung cancer patient received 200 mg PD-1 antibody combined with 7.5 mg/kg bevacizumab as fourth-line treatment. Results: Bevacizumab combined with PD-1 antibody induced a strong and durable antitumor effect. Bevacizumab combined with PD-1 antibody improved abnormal tumor vessels and enhanced the cytotoxic function and infiltration of T lymphocytes. The patient's survival time was significantly prolonged. Conclusion: Bevacizumab combined with anti-PD-1 antibody induces a durable antitumor effect by increasing the infiltration and cytotoxic function of CD8+ T cells in lung cancer.

Abstract
Objective To report the morphologic characteristics of tumor-related vasculatures and their association with secondary choroidal neovascularization (CNV), subretinal fluid (SRF), choroidal thickness, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alterations, subretinal hemorrhage, and tumor decalcification in eyes with choroidal osteoma (CO), using swept-source optical coherence tomographic angiography (SS-OCTA). Design Cross-sectional observational study. Participants We included 26 patients recruited from Beijing Tongren Hospital with a diagnosis of CO, based on the presence of yellow-orange mass deep to the RPE under indirect ophthalmoscopy and occupying the choroid with well-defined margins and bone density on ultrasonography or computed tomography and focal hyperfluorescent spots with no homogeneous pattern on fluorescein angiography/indocyanine green angiography (FA/ICGA). Data were collected from April 1, 2020, to April 1, 2021, and analyzed from April 30 through May 30, 2021. Methods Applying SS-OCTA systems operating at 1,050-nm wavelengths, eyes with CO were imaged. Main Outcome and Measures Tumor-related vasculature in eyes with CO was characterized using multimodal imaging that included fundus photography, FA/ICGA, SS-OCT, and SS-OCTA, and the images were anatomically aligned. CO thickness was manually measured as the distance between the upper boundary of the tumor and the underlying sclerochoroidal interface on the SS-OCT images. Subfoveal choroidal thickness was manually measured as the distance between the Bruch membrane and the sclerochoroidal interface on the SS-OCT images. Results Of the 26 Asian patients, 16 (62%) were women and 10 (38%) were men. The mean age was 26.8 years (median, 23; range, 8–45 years), and the mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40. Thirty-three eyes underwent imaging and were diagnosed with CO. Indocyanine green angiography identified inhomogeneous hyperfluorescence due to tumor-related vasculature, and all corresponded to the structures that appeared as sea-fan vascular networks (SFVNs) combined with clusters of tangled vessels on SS-OCTA images. SFVNs were detected on SS-OCTA imaging in all eyes (100%), terminal tangled vascular structures in 32 of 33 eyes (97%), but not identified on ICGA. Of the 33 tangled vascular structures, 32 (97%) were located at the edge of or inside the tumor, and only 1 (3%) was associated with type 2 neovascularization. In addition, SS-OCT revealed SRF in 33 eyes (100%), 33 (100%) were located at the edge of CO, and only 1 was underlying macular. SRF with retinal edema was seen in 30 of 32 eyes (94%). Conclusions In eyes with CO undergoing SS-OCTA imaging, tumor-related vasculature appears as SFVNs combined with tangled vascular structures or few type 2 neovascularization. The identification of actual tumor vasculature in patients with CO as SFVNs with inner or terminal vascular tangles rather than previously described CNV may help facilitate understanding of their pathogenesis, tumor control, and response to treatment.

Abstract
Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) is the standard surgical treatment for localized renal cell carcinoma. LRN can be performed using a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. We report a case of a complication specific to the retroperitoneal approach. A 63-year-old woman with localized right renal cell carcinoma was treated with retroperitoneal LRN. During placement of the first port, tumor vessels were damaged by a balloon dilator. Massive hemorrhage from the retroperitoneal cavity required conversion to retroperitoneal laparotomy to stop the bleeding. When laparotomy was performed, active bleeding had already ceased. The bleeding was caused by damage to the tumor vessels from the balloon dilator. Subsequent nephrectomy was performed without other complications. This case suggests that the transperitoneal approach is safer than the retroperitoneal approach when a tumor is located laterally and contains many tumor vessels.

Abstract
Blood supply is known to be required for tumor growth and metastasis, and the formation of the tumor's own vasculature plays a critical role in the development of solid neoplasms. The method of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is considered promising for the study of angioarchitectonics. PURPOSE To evaluate the OCTA signs of choroidal melanoma (CM) depending on its sizes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 24 patients with CM (24 eyes, of them with small CM - 22 eyes) aged 55.0±12.08 years (37 to 80 years old) with mean prominence of 2.35±0.87 mm (1.0 to 4.7 mm). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Retinal vascular attenuation in the tumor area was observed in 21 eyes. Changes in angioarchitectonics in the area of CM localization can be detected at a thickness of 1 mm, and the tumor's own vasculature - starting with a thickness of 1.4 mm. The development of vascular changes in CM can be represented as follows: initially, with CM prominence of up to 1.4 mm, indirect signs of increased blood flow in the overlaying choriocapillaris layer are visualized, most likely due to its compression; as the tumor grows and its thickness increases in its most dominant part, the choriocapillaris layer is completely destroyed, which leads to reactive expansion of the choroidal capillaries along the layer's edges. This is manifested as attenuation of the vascular signal in the central part of the tumor and its intensification along its edges. In the meantime, collaterals begin to form in the deep vascular plexus of the retina. Later on, chaotic vascular arches begin to form in the inner layers of the choroid along the tumor edge; as the tumor grows, they anastomose with the retinal vessels. Identification of the tumor's own vessels in the deeper-lying layers is possible with tumor prominence of at least 1.4 mm. At the level of the deep choroidal layers, the tumor's vascular pattern is more consistent with the angiographic data and patterns of vasculogenic mimicry described in literature. CONCLUSION Changes in angioarchitectonics in the area of CM localization can be detected at a thickness of 1 mm, and the tumor's own vasculature - starting with a thickness of 1.4 mm. The vascular pattern at the level of the deep choroidal layers best corresponds to the reported angiographic picture and patterns of vasculogenic mimicry.

Abstract
Compared with traditional chemotherapeutics, vascular disruption agents (VDAs) have the advantages of rapidly blocking the supply of nutrients and starving tumors to death. Although the VDAs are effective under certain scenarios, this treatment triggers angiogenesis in the later stage of therapy that frequently leads to tumor recurrence and treatment failure. Additionally, the nonspecific tumor targeting and considerable side effects also impede the clinical applications of VDAs. Here we develop a customized strategy that combines a VDA with an anti-angiogenic drug (AAD) using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) coated with platelet membrane for the self-assembled tumor targeting accumulation. The tailor-made nanoparticles accumulate in tumor tissues through the targeted adhesion of platelet membrane surface to damaged vessel sites, resulting in significant vascular disruption and efficient anti-angiogenesis in animal models. This study demonstrates the promising potential of combining VDA and AAD in a single nanoplatform for tumor eradication.

Abstract
The wound repair program is tightly regulated and coordinated among different cell constituents including epithelial cells, fibroblasts, immune cells and endothelial cells following consecutive steps to ensure timely, and proper wound closure. Specifically, innate and adaptive immune cells are pivotal participants that also closely interact with the vasculature. Tumors are portrayed as wounds that do not heal because they undergo continuous stromal remodeling and vascular growth with immunosuppressive features to ensure tumor propagation; a stage that is reminiscent of the proliferative resolution phase in wound repair. There is increasing evidence from mouse model systems and clinical trials that targeting both the immune and vascular compartments is an attractive therapeutic approach to reawaken the inflammatory status in the "tumor wound" with the final goal to abrogate tumor cells and invigorate tissue homeostasis. In this review, we compare the implication of immune cells and the vasculature in chronic wounds and tumor wounds to underscore the conceptual idea of transitioning tumors into an inflammatory wound-like state with antiangiogenic immunotherapies to improve beneficial effects in cancer patients.

Abstract
Purpose: Tumor vessels influence the growth and response of tumors to therapy. Imaging vascular changes in vivo using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) has shown potential to guide clinical decision making for treatment. However, quantitative MR imaging biomarkers of vascular function have not been widely adopted, partly because their relationship to structural changes in vessels remains unclear. We aimed to elucidate the relationships between vessel function and morphology in vivo Experimental Design: Untreated preclinical tumors with different levels of vascularization were imaged sequentially using DCE-MRI and CT. Relationships between functional parameters from MR (iAUC, K trans, and BATfrac) and structural parameters from CT (vessel volume, radius, and tortuosity) were assessed using linear models. Tumors treated with anti-VEGFR2 antibody were then imaged to determine whether antiangiogenic therapy altered these relationships. Finally, functional-structural relationships were measured in 10 patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer.Results: Functional parameters iAUC and K trans primarily reflected vessel volume in untreated preclinical tumors. The relationships varied spatially and with tumor vascularity, and were altered by antiangiogenic treatment. In human liver metastases, all three structural parameters were linearly correlated with iAUC and K trans For iAUC, structural parameters also modified each other's effect.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that MR imaging biomarkers of vascular function are linked to structural changes in tumor vessels and that antiangiogenic therapy can affect this link. Our work also demonstrates the feasibility of three-dimensional functional-structural validation of MR biomarkers in vivo to improve their biological interpretation and clinical utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM One of the most important factors concerning cancer growth is angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship of maturation of tumor vessels and prognosis of lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunohistochemical stainings of 125 lung cancers for VEGF, CD31 and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) were scored by multiplying the intensity and the frequency from 0 to 12. RESULTS Adenocarcinomas showed significantly higher staining scores of both VEGF and αSMA than squamous cell carcinomas did. In 42 cases of high CD31 score, five-year survival rate (87%) of patients with lung cancer showing mature tumor vessels was significantly better than that (69%) of patients with immature tumor vessels. CONCLUSION Not the number of tumor vessels but their maturation may be a prognostic factor of patients with lung cancer. VEGF may not only stimulate proliferation of endothelial cells but also their maturation in differentiated lung cancers.

Abstract
Tumor heterogeneity is an important concept when assessing intratumoral variety in vascular phenotypes and responses to antiangiogenic treatment. This study explored spatiotemporal heterogeneity of vascular alterations in C6 glioma mice during tumor growth and antiangiogenic treatment on serial MR examinations (days 0, 4, and 7 from initiation of vehicle or multireceptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor administration). Transvascular permeability (TP) was quantified on dynamic‐contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) using extravascular extracellular agent (Gd‐DOTA); blood volume (BV) was estimated using intravascular T2 agent (SPION). With regard to region‐dependent variability in vascular phenotypes, the control group demonstrated higher TP in the tumor center than in the periphery, and greater BV in the tumor periphery than in the center. This distribution pattern became more apparent with tumor growth. Antiangiogenic treatment effect was regionally heterogeneous: in the tumor center, treatment significantly suppressed the increase in TP and decrease in BV (ie, typical temporal change in the control group); in the tumor periphery, treatment‐induced vascular alterations were insignificant and BV remained high. On histopathological examination, the control group showed greater CD31, VEGFR2, Ki67, and NG2 expression in the tumor periphery than in the center. After treatment, CD31 and Ki67 expression was significantly suppressed only in the tumor center, whereas VEGFR2 and α‐caspase 3 expression was decreased and NG2 expression was increased in the entire tumor. These results demonstrate that MRI can reliably depict spatial heterogeneity in tumor vascular phenotypes and antiangiogenic treatment effects. Preserved angiogenic activity (high BV on MRI and high CD31) and proliferation (high Ki67) in the tumor periphery after treatment may provide insights into the mechanism of tumor resistance to antiangiogenic treatment.

Abstract
The focus of the present review is to investigate the role of melanin in the radioprotection of melanoma and attempts to sensitize tumors to radiation by inhibiting melanogenesis. Early studies showed radical scavenging, oxygen consumption and adsorption as mechanisms of melanin radioprotection. Experimental models of melanoma in hamsters and in gerbils are described as well as their use in biochemical and radiobiological studies, including a spontaneously metastasizing ocular model. Some results from in vitro studies on the inhibition of melanogenesis are presented as well as radio-chelation therapy in experimental and clinical settings. In contrast to cutaneous melanoma, uveal melanoma is very successfully treated with radiation, both using photon and proton beams. We point out that the presence or lack of melanin pigmentation should be considered, when choosing therapeutic options, and that both the experimental and clinical data suggest that melanin could be a target for radiosensitizing melanoma cells to increase efficacy of radiotherapy against melanoma.

Abstract
With growing interest in cancer therapeutics, anti-angiogenic therapy has received considerable attention and is widely administered in several types of human cancers. Nonetheless, this type of therapy may induce multiple signaling pathways compared with cytotoxics and lead to worse outcomes in terms of resistance, invasion, metastasis, and overall survival (OS). Moreover, there are important challenges that limit the translation of promising biomarkers into clinical practice to monitor the efficiency of anti-angiogenic therapy. These pitfalls emphasize the urgent need for discovering alternative angiogenic inhibitors that target multiple angiogenic factors or developing a new drug delivery system for the current inhibitors. The great advantages of nanoparticles are their ability to offer effective routes that target the biological system and regulate different vital processes based on their unique features. Limited studies so far have addressed the effectiveness of nanoparticles in the normalization of the delicate balance between stimulating (pro-angiogenic) and inhibiting (anti-angiogenic) factors. In this review, we shed light on tumor vessels and their microenvironment and consider the current directions of anti-angiogenic and nanotherapeutic treatments. To the best of our knowledge, we consider an important effort in the understanding of anti-angiogenic agents (often a small volume of metals, nonmetallic molecules, or polymers) that can control the growth of new vessels.

Abstract
Promising cancer immunotherapeutics depend on mobilization of cytotoxic T cells across tumor vascular barriers through mechanisms that are poorly understood. Recently, we discovered that the CXCR3 chemokine receptor uniquely functions as the master-regulator of cytotoxic CD8(+) T cell extravasation and tumor control despite the multiplicity of chemokines available in the tumor landscape.

Abstract
Macromolecular gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents are in development as blood pool markers for MRI. HPG-GdF is a 583 kDa hyperbranched polyglycerol doubly tagged with Gd and Alexa 647 nm dye, making it both MR and histologically visible. In this study we examined the location of HPG-GdF in whole-tumor xenograft sections matched to in vivo DCE-MR images of both HPG-GdF and Gadovist. Despite its large size, we have shown that HPG-GdF extravasates from some tumor vessels and accumulates over time, but does not distribute beyond a few cell diameters from vessels. Fractional plasma volume (fPV) and apparent permeability-surface area product (aPS) parameters were derived from the MR concentration-time curves of HPG-GdF. Non-viable necrotic tumor tissue was excluded from the analysis by applying a novel bolus arrival time (BAT) algorithm to all voxels. aPS derived from HPG-GdF was the only MR parameter to identify a difference in vascular function between HCT116 and HT29 colorectal tumors. This study is the first to relate low and high molecular weight contrast agents with matched whole-tumor histological sections. These detailed comparisons identified tumor regions that appear distinct from each other using the HPG-GdF biomarkers related to perfusion and vessel leakiness, while Gadovist-imaged parameter measures in the same regions were unable to detect variation in vascular function. We have established HPG-GdF as a biocompatible multi-modal high molecular weight contrast agent with application for examining vascular function in both MR and histological modalities.

Abstract
The neural adhesion molecule L1 is involved in development and plasticity of the nervous system. We recently reported aberrant expression of L1 in the vasculature of various human tumor types. Genetic and functional inactivation of endothelial L1 in a mouse tumor model resulted in decreased tumor angiogenesis and promoted vascular normalization. Thus, endothelial L1 might represent a novel therapeutic target for vessel-targeted treatments of solid tumors.

Abstract
Combretastatins interrupt blood flow of solid tumor vascular networks and lead to necrosis by blocking nutrients. However, tumors recover from tumor blood flow interruption-induced damage and develop viable rims. To investigate why cancer recurs and its prevention, we used a combretastatin derivative, Cderiv (=AC7700), and analyzed changes in tumor-host interface (T-HI) vessels, which were closest to cancer cells in the tumor margin after tumor vessel disruption, and the microenvironment surrounding them. Treatment with Cderiv (10 mg/kg) interrupted tumor blood flow in all regions of LY80 (a variant of Yoshida sarcoma) tumor, but not T-HI vessel blood flow. The same Cderiv dose given 72 h after 5 Gy irradiation stopped T-HI vessel blood flow and prevented cancer recurrence. Treatment in the reverse order, however, did not affect T-HI vessel blood flow. The greatest difference between the two treatments was the occurrence of gradual T-HI edema with the former. Severe T-HI edema compressed T-HI blood vessels, so that circulation stopped. Thus, the distance between a tumor margin and its nearest functioning host vessel became much larger, and the tumor marginal region became a microenvironment that lacked a nutritional supply. Cancer cells in tumor margins received nutrients through two circulation routes: tumor vessels and T-HI vessels. Our starvation methods, which involved treatment with Cderiv 72 h after 5 Gy irradiation, blocked both circulation routes and may have great potential as a clinical strategy to prevent cancer recurrence.
