Neoangiogenesis: new blood vessel formation in cancer

Dive into the fascinating process of neoangiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels in cancer—with Dr. Sara Ammond. Discover how tumors hijack existing blood vessels to fuel their growth and the implications for cancer progression. Key Topics Covered: Differentiating between vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, with a focus on neoangiogenesis. The role of hypoxia (low oxygen levels) in driving neoangiogenesis within tumor microenvironments. Understanding how cancer cells secrete molecules to induce the formation of new blood vessels. Exploring the structural abnormalities of tumor vasculature and its impact on cancer metastasis. Addressing therapeutic approaches targeting neoangiogenesis, including the use of bevacizumab to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor A. Join us as we unravel the complexities of tumor angiogenesis and its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment.
