Angiogenesis of Glial Tumors
1Marmara Üniversitesi Nörolojik Bilimler Enstitüsü, İstanbul2Marmara Üniversitesi Moleküler Nöroşirürji Laboratuarı, İstanbul Angiogenesis is fundamental to the growth of all solid tumors. Elucidating the critical elements of this process is particularly important for brain tumors, which are among the most highly vascular human neoplasms. This information is essential for clinical behavior and potential treatment of these neoplasms. The unique character of cerebrovascular physiology and glioma biology influence the mechanism of angiogenesis. Anahtar Kelimeler : Angiogenesis, glial tumor, angiogenic factors
