SPP 1190: The Tumour-Vessel Interface

肿瘤中血管的生长是与肿瘤进展和转移相关的最重要的(如果不是最重要的)肿瘤-宿主相互作用之一。多种细胞、分子和机制控制着肿瘤和血管间的复杂相互作用，从而调节肿瘤的进展和转移。虽然血管生成研究已经成为正在进行的生物医学研究中增长最快、竞争最激烈的领域之一，但在癌症的背景下仍有许多有待发现的东西，这只有通过在血管和肿瘤生物学领域的有效网络和整合努力才能实现。

The growth of blood vessels in tumours is one of the most important, if not the most important tumour-host interaction associated with tumour progression and metastasis. A multitude of cells, molecules and mechanisms controls the complex interactions between the tumour and the vascular compartments to regulate tumour progression and metastasis. While angiogenesis research has become one of the most rapidly growing and most competitive fields of ongoing biomedical research, much remains to be discovered in the context of cancer and this will only be achieved through effective networking and integrating efforts in the vascular and tumour biology fields.
