  • Title: [Angiogenesis as prognostic factor in malignant tumors].
    Author: Aebersold DM.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 1998 Jul; 55(7):462-3. PubMed ID: 9702121.
    Abstract:
    It is now generally accepted that angiogenesis is critical for tumor progression and metastasis. Angiogenic parameters like vascular density and expression of angiogenic factors have been linked to the outcome of a broad spectrum of cancers. Most of these studies report a worsening prognosis in cases of higher vascular density and increased expression of angiogenic factors. Furthermore, preliminary reports suggest that angiogenic activity may predict the success of some cytotoxic therapies. The evidence of angiogenesis as a fundamental process in cancer development led to a large number of studies testing anti-angiogenic strategies as monotherapy or in combination with radiation and chemotherapy.
