Spike, the angiogenesis inhibitors (endostatin, etc.) primarily influence solid tumors by restricting the blood vessel growth that allows them to grow to life-threatening proportions.

Since leukemia is a blood cell cancer, the angiogenesis inhibitors would not work. However, I believe you are correct and something in the back of my mind nags with the news of a discovery that was successful with leukemia. But right now, I don't remember what the therapy was. I suspect however a few minutes with a search engine should find it.
