Cancer stem cells or tumor-instating cells are responsible for the formation of tumors. These cancer cells have the ability to quickly reshape, destroy or fuse with existing blood vessels, giving them access to more nutrients and oxygen. Unfortunately, this also leads to the spread of tumors to other parts of the body through the bloodstream.Tumors release protein factors that stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, a process called tumor angiogenesis. It's important to note that this is different from angiogenesis, which is the growth of blood vessels during the healing process. By understanding how tumor angiogenesis works, we can develop new medical techniques to fight cancer and prevent its spread to other parts of the body.
