Angiogenesis Regulates Prostate Cancer Metastasis

Abstract

Cancer progression depends upon the establishment of an adequate blood supply. The purpose of our studies has been to evaluate the relevance of angiogenesis in the progression of prostate cancer by evaluating the roles of three different angiogenic molecules (vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF), interleukin 8 IL-8, and basic fibroblast growth factor BFGF).
