Tumor Angiogenesis: Importance in Tumor Detection and Growth

  • Chapter
Urologic Oncology

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 19))

Abstract

Tumor angiogenesis has been defined as the growth of new capillary blood vessels in response to a tumor stimulus. This process is caused by a diffusable tumor product(s) and is directly responsible for enabling tumors to enlarge in size. Over the last ten years, significant progress has been made toward understanding the mechanism of this response. In addition, there now appears to be a potential for exploiting this understanding in order to assist with the diagnosis and possibly the treatment of solid tumors. This chapter will present an overview of the current knowledge in this field and the potential direction for this area in the near future.

Gerald W. Chodak is an American Urological Association Scholar, an American Cancer Society Junior Faculty Clinical Scholar and a Gould Scholar.
