The emergence of angiogenesis as an important target for cancer therapy has led to increased research aimed at understanding the mechanisms underlying the development, maintenance, and destruction of tumor vasculature. Concurrently, molecular imaging technologies have been developed and are being in
Background. The growth of solid tumors, including head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, depends on the establishment of a blood supply within the tumor (neovascularization or angiogenesis). For this process to take place, tumors produce growth factors which stimulate the proliferation, migration,
