Tumours induce the growth of host blood vessels to support their proliferation. This process of angiogenesis is evoked by specific chemical signals. Recognition of these angiogenic factors has led to experimental methods for cancer diagnosis and for inhibiting malignant growth by specifically blocking neovascularisation. The clinical potential of these techniques is discussed.
肿瘤诱导宿主血管生长以支持其增殖。血管生成这一过程由特定化学信号引发。对这些血管生成因子的识别已催生出用于癌症诊断以及通过特异性阻断新血管形成来抑制恶性生长的实验方法。本文讨论了这些技术的临床潜力。
