Bladder cancer angiogenesis, its role in recurrence, stage progression and as a therapeutic target

Cancer Metastasis Rev. 1996 Jun;15(2):221-30. doi: 10.1007/BF00437475.

Abstract

In this article we review the role of angiogenesis in bladder tumor development and its putative role in determining tumor progression and recurrence. The potential value of antiangiogenic therapy in the disease is also discussed.
