Spike, the angiogenesis inhibitors (endostatin, etc.) primarily
influence solid tumors by restricting the blood vessel growth
that allows them to grow to life-threatening proportions.
Since leukemia is a blood cell cancer, the angiogenesis inhibitors
would not work. However, I believe you are correct and something
in the back of my mind nags with the news of a discovery that
was successful with leukemia. But right now, I don't remember what
the therapy was. I suspect however a few minutes with a search
engine should find it.
