Re: Questions: Angiogenesis in Cancer

>From what I've learned antiogenesis is not related to any other system
except that it serves to provide nourishment to the cancer site. At the same
time, this main "mass" produces anti-angiogenesis compounds which prevent
other sites from "robbing" the primary site of blood flow/nutrients. It has
been observed that in many case removal of the primary mass, and it's
anit-angiogenesis function, allows other sites to become more active.

This reminded me of things my parents would say decades ago about people
they knew who had cancer, things like "Oh, as soon as they removed "the
cancer" it spread all over." etc. They believed that the surgery cause the
cancer to spread because it had been disturbed. Interesting.
