Angiogenesis and the tumour hypoxia response in prostate cancer: a review.

Abstract:

The formation of new blood vessels, angiogenesis, is a highly-regulated active process that is critical for the development of the normal and malignant prostate. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) system assumes a critical role in the angiogenic process. Angiogenesis is a prerequisite for the expansion of solid tumours beyond 1-3 mm3 and is stimulated in response to a hypoxic environment. This review discusses the process of angiogenesis and the key angiogenic mediator, VEGF, and t...
