Effect of antiangiogenic targeted chemotherapy on the osseointegration of titanium implants in rabbits

Patients with cancer have recently been treated with more advanced targeted chemotherapies that have greater specificity towards the cancer cells and fewer side effects. However, the periods of treatment take longer than those of traditional cytotoxic treatments. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of antiangiogenic targeted chemotherapy on the osseointegration of titanium implants. Fourteen white New Zealand rabbits were allocated randomly into two groups of seven: the placebo control group and the Avastin® group.
