Claim: 1-60. (canceled)
Claim: 61. A method for modulating tumor growth or metastasis in an animal in need thereof, comprising sequential or simultaneous administration of a taxane and a combretastatin compound in amounts effective therefore.
Claim: 62. The method of claim 61, wherein said taxane is selected from the group consisting of paclitaxel and docetaxel.
Claim: 63. The method of claim 61, wherein said combretastatin compound is a combretastatin A-4 compound.
Claim: 64. The method of claim 63, wherein said combretastatin A-4 compound is combretastatin A-4 phosphate.
Claim: 65. The method of claim 63, wherein said combretastatin A-4 phosphate is administered at least 3 hours prior to the taxane.
Claim: 66. The method of claim 61, wherein said combretastatin compound is a combretastatin A-1 compound.
Claim: 67. The method as claimed in claim 66, wherein said combretastatin A-1 compound is combretastatin A-1 phosphate.
Claim: 68. The method as claimed in claim 66, wherein said combretastatin A-1 compound is combretastatin A-1 phosphate and said taxane is paclitaxel.
Claim: 69. The method as claimed in claim 68, wherein said combretastatin A-1 phosphate is administered at least 3 hours prior to paclitaxel.
Claim: 70. A method for modulating tumor growth or metastasis in an animal in need thereof, comprising administration of a combretastatin compound and a taxane, in amounts effective therefor, wherein said combretastatin compound is administered at a time relative to administration of said taxane sufficient to modulate blood flow to said tumor to provide a time-dependent effective tumor concentration of said taxane.
Claim: 71. A pharmaceutical composition for modulating tumor growth or metastasis in an animal in need thereof, comprising a taxane and a combretastatin compound, in amounts effective therefore in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Claim: 72. The pharmaceutical composition as claimed in claim 71, wherein said taxane is paclitaxel or docetaxel.
Claim: 73. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 71, wherein said combretastatin compound is a combretastatin A-4 compound.
Claim: 74. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 71, wherein said combretastatin compound is a combretastatin A-1 compound.
