Angiogenesis, the sprouting of new blood vessels from existing vessels, is one of six known
mechanisms employed by solid tumors to recruit blood vessels necessary for their initiation …

Tumor metastasis is the main cause of cancer‐related death. Understanding the molecular
mechanisms underlying tumor metastasis is crucial to control this fatal disease. Several …

The effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) blockade on the vascular biology of
human tumors are not known. Here we show here that a single infusion of the VEGF-specific …

Human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been generally defined as circulating cells
that express a variety of cell surface markers similar to those expressed by vascular …

• Introduction• The proof‐of‐concept in vivo: the cell, the read‐out and the animal model‐The
CEPC: Still a putative cell‐Do CEPCs play an essential role in vascular (patho) physiology …

Abstract Comparison of the efficacy of different enrichment methods for detection of
circulating tumor cells (CTCs) before radical surgery is lacking in non‐small‐cell lung …

Tumours recruit neighbouring blood vessels and vascular endothelial cells to support their
own blood supply. Recent evidence has indicated, however, that tumours are also capable …

Purpose: Pathologic TNM staging is currently the best prognostic factor for non‐small cell
lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However, even in early-stage NSCLC, the recurrence rates after …

Increases in the number of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and progenitors (CEPs) have
been reported in various pathological conditions including cancer. Preclinical studies have …

There is growing evidence that vasculogenesis (progenitor cell-derived generation of new
blood vessels) is required for the growth of some neoplastic diseases. Here we show that …
