The VEGF ligand and angiogenesis

Two significant focal points of anticancer research

An abundance of scientific evidence points to the central role of both angiogenesis in tumor growth and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in angiogenesis. This section provides a detailed review of angiogenesis and how it contributes to cancer development, as well as a close-up look at how this process is mediated predominantly by VEGF.
