## Abstract The initiation of new blood vessels through angiogenesis is critical to tumor growth. Tumor cells release soluble angiogenic factors that induce neovascularization, without which nutrients and oxygen would not be available to allow tumors to grow more than 2β3 mm in diameter. This βangi
The clinical relevance of tumor angiogenesis has been investigated in several human tumor types. Angiogenesis (measured as microvessel density; MVD) was recently correlated with tumor stage, grade, and clinical course in prostate cancer (PC). However, considerable controversy remains concerning the
