The process of angiogenesis plays a critical role in tumor growth and metastasis. Recently, there has been much interest in the possible use of angiogenic growth factors as tumor markers. This paper will review the results thus far of attempts at measuring various angiogenic factors in bodily fluids. In the future, angiogenic factors will most likely be useful as a monitor of therapy and/or a predictor of outcome after cancer has been diagnosed.
血管生成过程在肿瘤生长和转移中起着关键作用。最近，人们对将血管生成生长因子用作肿瘤标志物的可能性产生了浓厚兴趣。本文将综述迄今为止在测量体液中各种血管生成因子方面的尝试结果。未来，血管生成因子很可能作为癌症诊断后治疗的监测指标和/或预后的预测指标发挥作用。
