Tumor angiogenesis.

Advances in Cancer Research

|January 1, 1985

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Tumor growth relies on angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. Inhibiting this process can cause tumors to regress, offering potential new treatments for cancer and other diseases.
