Abstract

Over the past 60 years, thalidomide has metamorphosized from a drug prescribed to treat morning sickness in pregnant women, which was subsequently found to induce birth defects, into a highly effective therapy for treating leprosy and multiple myeloma. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the anticancer effects of thalidomide, including antiangiogenic and immunomodulatory activities. At present, evidence suggests that thalidomide may induce vessel maturation. Vascular normalization may be an effective strategy to enhance cancer immunotherapy. Numerous studies have shown that the tumor infiltrating immune cell subsets are important in regulating the process of tumor angiogenesis. The mechanisms associated with antiangiogenesis and the potent immunomodulatory effects of thalidomide obtained the most support. The studies of the antiangiogenic activity of thalidomide were guided in a novel direction by a hypothesis regarding the vascular normalization of tumors. Hence, thalidomide is effective in cancer treatment due to the interaction between immune cells and tumor vasculature. This mechanism provides new avenues to explore for the treatment of cancer.
