Angiogenesis
Why angiogenesis is important for cancer growth?
A tumor that has grown to a certain size needs nutrients and oxygen, otherwise it won’'t grow any further. The recruitment of new blood vessels that infiltrate the tumor (angiogenesis), allow the innermost part of the tumor to receive nutrients and oxygen and therefore, continue to grow.
Why would preventing angiogenesis in a tumor maybe combat the tumor?
Preventing angiogenesis restricts the blood supply. It won't necessarily reduce the tumor, but it can prevent it from growing beyond what the current blood supply can support.
