How is Dysfunctional Angiogenesis Related to Cancer?
Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels, which is essential for tumor growth and metastasis. Dysfunctional angiogenesis, where the regulation of blood vessel formation is abnormal, can promote cancer progression by providing tumors with the necessary blood supply to grow and spread. Anti-angiogenic therapies aim to inhibit this process and starve the tumor of nutrients.
