Abstract
Recent advances in our understanding of angiogenesis in solid tumor growth and metastasis has also led to intense investigation of angiogenesis and its clinical significance in lung cancer. This investigation has shown that angiogenesis is an important prognostic indicator for lung carcinoma and will become increasingly important when investigating new therapies aimed at inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels or targeting the tumor vasculature.
