A member asked:
In what way angiogenesis related to cancer & mitosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: When Folkman discovered angiostatin as a way of controlling animal tumors it was tried as a way of controlling cancer in patients. It failed. While blood vessels at the surface of the tumor are necessary for metastasis, most if not all tumors function by anaerobic metabolism and don't need blood. To help destroy tumor treat them in a hyperbaric chamber.
