Abstract:
Surgical resection is the main treatment modality for the vast majority of patients with locally confined solid tumors. The healing process following surgery necessitates extensive angiogenesis which can be a clinical challenge due to its tumor-promoting effect. In line with this, plasma (serum) levels of several pro-angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin 2 were found to be significantly increased after surgical tumor resection.
