Authors:
- Tumors depend on a vascular supply for their growth
- Tumor vasculature is clearly different to normal vasculature
- The phenotypic range of tumor endothelium is influenced by the specific tumor microenvironment and by epigenetic effects
- Two approaches are available for targeting tumor vasculature: a) prevent new blood vessel formation; b) disrupt tumor vasculature
