Abstract: Therapies for malignant glioma include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In recent years, the overall effective rate of temozolomide is better than other chemotherapy drugs, but partly patients have resistance to temozolomide. Angiogenesis inhibitors show promising activity, but it is expensive. Celecoxib has antiangiogenic activity, which has become a new option.

Key words: Glioma, Angiogenesis inhibitors, Temozolomide, Celecoxib
