Abstract:
Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors(ACEI) are generally used in the treatment of cardiovascular system diseases.They are found by epidemiological studies to have an anti-tumor activity and are shown to play various roles in suppressing carcinogenesis and tumor growth,preventing angiogenesis,inhibiting matrix degradation and reducing cancer cachexia.
