Several research investigations on neuroblastoma (NB) have shown the important dependency of this embryonic tumour on angiogenesis, especially in the advanced and aggressive stages. However, the first pre-clinical data on anti-angiogenic drugs in NB have not been published until recently and clinical trials with anti-angiogenic agents in NB treatment protocols are still missing. Here, we summarise current knowledge on the important role and mechanisms of angiogenesis in NB, and report available pre-clinical results of anti-angiogenic agents used to treat NB. This review clearly shows that angiogenesis is a target in NB and that clinical trials are urgently needed to bring forward promising anti-angiogenesis treatment strategies into NB therapy.
