Tumor Vascularization discusses different types of growth of tumor blood vessels and their implications on research and healthcare. The book is divided in three parts: the first one, General Mechanisms, discusses different vessel growth mechanisms such as sprouting angiogenesis, non-angiogenesis dependent growth, intussusceptive microvascular growth, vascular co-option and vasculogenic mimicry. The second and third parts, entitled Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Implications are dedicated to translating the recent findings in this field to patient treatment and healthcare. This book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students and several members of biomedical field who are interested in learning more about tumor progression and blood vessels. Explains some new non-orthodox concepts developed recently related to the modality of growth of tumor blood vesselsProvides information on types of angiogenesis, non-angiogenesis dependent growth and vascular co-option, discussing their similarities and differencesEncompasses a discussion on clinical implications of tumor vascularization, to translate the research findings into treatment INDICE: 1.
