## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a multifunctional growth factor that can stimulate cell proliferation, production of proteases, and angiogenesis. Loss of mechanisms that regulate bFGF activity could result in tumor development. To test this idea, cells derived from an invasive
Background. Angiogenesis is crucial for tumor growth and metastasis. In several tumors, microvascular density has been shown to correlate with metastasis and aggressiveness. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has potent angiogenic activity and has been identified in a wide variety of malignancies
