History

[edit]

The Angiogenesis Foundation was founded in 1994 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1] The foundation developed a therapy for canine cancer, called the Navy Protocol. This treatment works by starving the tumor of its blood supply.[2] In 2004, they helped publicly launch the first antiangiogenic therapy for cancer, bevacizumab, starting with colorectal cancer.[3] In 2010, the president and co-founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation, William Li, gave a well-received presentation at the TED conference on cancer prevention through antiangiogenic nutrition.[4]

Co-founder Dr. William Li won the 2024 Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach Award for his work in angiogenesis.[5]
