Abundant evidence has shown that tumor growth and metastasis are dependent upon tumor
angiogenesis (TA). TA refers to the growth of new vessels toward and within the tumor. Until …

In this issue, Hollingsworth et a1l present evidence that increasing intratumor microvessel
density in the areas of most intense neovascularization is associated with decreasing overall …

Background: Axillary lymph node status has been the most important prognostic factor in
operable breast carcinoma, but it does not fully account for the varied disease outcome …

Tumor growth and metastasis require angiogenesis; and microvessel density, a measure of
tumor angiogenesis, correlates with metastasis in breast and lung carcinoma. To determine …

Anticancer nanomedicine was coined to describe anticancer delivery systems such as
polymer conjugates, liposomes, micelles, and metal nanoparticles. These anticancer …

We performed a meta-analysis of all 87 published studies linking intratumoral microvessel
density (MVD), reflecting angiogenesis, to relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival …

BACKGROUND Microvessel density in tumors, a measure of angiogenesis, has been shown
to be a prognostic indicator that correlates with an increased risk of metastasis in various …

Solid tumors must induce a vascular stroma to grow beyond a minimal size, and the intensity
of the angiogenic response has been correlated with prognosis in breast cancer patients …

Background: It is possible to identify at least nine vascular patterns in melanomas of the
ciliary body and choroid from histologic sections. An association between the presence of at …

Multidisciplinary in scope and fully up to date with the latest advances in medical oncology
and more, Bland and Copeland's The Breast, 6th Edition, covers every clinically relevant …
