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 a cancer cell need to induce angiogenesis?
As telomeres get shorter a cell loses the ability to divide
What is the formation of new blood vessels is called?
B. Angiogenesis
Why is angiogenesis important in the development of tumours?
Angiogenesis is the creation of blood vessels, and is a natural process - without it, a foetus would be unable to create a vascular system, but in the case of tumours, the initiation of angiogensis within the tumour means that the cancer can use the blood vessels created to metastisise to other organs within the body, which generally carries with it a poor prognosis.
Why do you think cell growth is an important area of study for scientists?
Cancer occurs when cell growth is abnormal. It is important for scientists to study cell growth in order to better understand this disease and how to treat it.
When was The Angiogenesis Foundation created?
The Angiogenesis Foundation was created in 1994.
