ANGIOPOIETIN-2 OVEREXPRESSION PROMOTES HEMATOGENOUS METASTASIS IN BREAST CANCER
Angiogenesis supports tumor growth and facilitates metastasis, the leading cause of patient mortality in breast and other types of solid tumors. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is an angiogenic factor whose overexpression is associated with increased tumor vascularity, metastasis, and decreased patient survi...
