Abstract excerpt
Advanced tumor growth requires the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). Whether new blood vessels are formed or not depends on a balance between angiogenesis inhibitors and promoters. Host tissue, as well as tumor cells, express inhibitory factors preventing angiogenesis. During cancer progression, tumor cell lines evolve which produce factors promoting the angiogenic switch. We use mathematical models...
