  7. 30. The impact of vascular structure and function on tumor growth, retinopathy, and antiangiogenic therapy

    Author : Eva-Maria Hedlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tumors produce multiple angiogenic factors to stimulate neovascularization that is essential for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Despite the known angiogenic functions of each individual factor, the interplay between these angiogenic factors in the tumor local environment and in modulation of the host functions remain poorly understood.
