Abstract
The unrestrained growth and metastatic potential of a tumor is strictly correlated to its capacity to induce an efficient capillary network in the host tissue (Folkman J and Cotran R 1976, Ziehe M and Gullino PM, 1982). Under physiological circumstances the ability of a given tissue to produce a neovascular response is under strict controll, i.e. the balance between factors and events favoring or interfering with neovascular growth is in equilibrium.
