Intravascular dissemination of tumor cells is the accepted mechanism of cancer metastasis.
However, the phenomenon of angiotropism, pericyte mimicry (PM), and extravascular …

Two fields of cancer research have emerged dealing with the biology of tumour cells
localised to the abluminal vascular surface: vessel co-option (VCo), a non-angiogenic mode …

Angiotropism/pericytic mimicry and vascular co-option involve tumor cell interactions with
the abluminal vascular surface. These two phenomena may be closely related. However …

Simple Summary Melanoma is the most aggressive and potentially lethal form of skin
cancer. Research over recent decades has highlighted the role of tumour vasculature in …

Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is an ocular malignant tumor arising from the bulbar and
palpebral conjunctiva and from the caruncle. The treatment of early-stage CM is wide local …

Angiotropism is a marker of extravascular migration of melanoma cells along vascular and
other structures and a prognostic factor in cutaneous melanoma. Because of this biological …

Purpose Angiotropism is the process by which cancer cells attach to and migrate along
blood vessels to acquire vasculature, disseminate, and metastasize. However, the molecular …

Access of melanoma cells to the cutaneous vasculature either via lymphatic invasion or
angiotropism is a proposed mechanism for metastasis. Lymphatic invasion is believed to be …

Background Angiotropism is the histopathological correlate of pericytic mimicry and
extravascular migratory metastasis (EVMM), a mechanism of melanoma spread by migration …
