Tumor vessels are an attractive target for cancer therapy, including metastasis treatment. Angiogenesis inhibitors targeting the VEGF signalling pathway have proven to be efficacious in preclinical cancer models and in clinical trials. However, angiogenesis inhibition concomitantly elicits tumor adaptation and
