Angiogenesis in lymphoma: a short review

Abstract:
It is now well established that the growth of primary and metastatic tumors is associated with the formation of new blood vessels, and that the growth of these tumor cells is frequently dependent on this neovasculature. The observation that inhibition of tumor angiogenesis in mice can lead to tumor regression or dormancy generated high level of enthusiasm and interest in developing new treatment strategies for human cancer based on inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. This short review focuses on recent advances in angiogenesis-research in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
