INTRODUCTION: Angiogenesis, for its fundamental role in cancer growth and metastasis, has become an appealing target in cancer therapy. A number of angiogenesis-related microRNAs (miRNAs) are under investigation and they can affect the cancerous phenotype of malignant cells. AREAS COVERED: The authors review the recent advances in angiogenesis-related miRNAs in human colon cancer. They also envisage future developments toward potential miRNA-based applications to cancer treatment. EXPERT OPINION: Angiogenesis-related miRNAs may reasonably be considered as a valuable cancer therapeutic tool. More investigations should be performed to promote therapeutic-clinical research of miRNAs in patients with colon cancer.
