Chemotherapy drugs often never reach the tumors they're intended to treat, and radiation therapy is not always effective, because the blood vessels feeding the tumors are abnormal—"leaky and twisty" ...

Contrary to a long-standing assumption that blood vessel cells in healthy tissues and those associated with tumors are similar, a new study unequivocally demonstrates that tumor blood vessel cells are ...

Researchers examine the local communication between endothelial cells and tumors cells and its effects on endothelial cell orientation. The approach uses co-cultured human umbilical vein endothelial ...

Abnormal tumor blood vessels promote cancer progression and treatment resistance. Researchers have developed two approaches to repair tumor blood vessels and they have devised a method to measure the ...

The leaky, disorganized mess of blood vessels that support tumors can stop drugs from reaching their targets and thereby nullify their impact. Recognizing that, researchers have identified a way to ...

Transcript:Edward S. Kim, MD: For decades, we used 2-drug chemotherapy—that’s how we treated the majority of our lung cancer patients. Over time, we’ve tried many times to see if we can add more ...

Targeting and customizing blood vessels in tumors to increase T cell infiltration and maintain their function may represent the next breakthrough in cancer therapy. The European Research Council has ...

Blood vessels in tumor tissues are leakier than those in normal tissues. Researchers from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the University at Albany—SUNY ...

Vitamin C and other antioxidants stimulate the formation of new blood vessels in lung cancer tumors, a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation shows.

The ultimate cause of death from cancer may not be metastatic disease, as researchers have long surmised, but an infiltration of tumors into major blood vessels that cause blood clots and multiorgan ...
