Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 I'm not sure if this has been dicussed or not, but I recently read where doctors are fighting cancer with drugs called anti-angiogenics. My understanding is these drugs kill blood vessels which help feed the tumors. I was wondering if these drugs have ever been proposed in fighting rosacea. If you could somehow make these drugs target the effected blood vessels in the face then the cea could be greatly reduced. I know cancer is much more serious than rosacea and the research needs to be focused on cancer, but if this could be an effective off-shoot of the medicine then the drugs could end up helping another group of people.
