Angiogenesis is the process of new capillaries forming out of preexisting blood vessels in your body. It’s normally a helpful, important process that supports wound healing and supplies oxygen-rich blood to your organs and tissues. But in people with cancer, angiogenesis supports tumor growth and spread by feeding tumors with oxygen and nutrients.

Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. This process involves the migration, growth, and differentiation of endothelial cells, which line the inside wall of blood vessels.

Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. This process involves the migration, growth, and differentiation of endothelial cells, which line the inside wall of blood vessels. The process of angiogenesis is controlled by chemical signals in the body, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is a proangiogenic growth factor. Angiogenesis continues the growth of the vasculature mainly by processes of sprouting and splitting.
