Tumor Angiogenesis From Molecular Mechanisms to Targeted The

Covering aspects of molecular mechanisms in tumor angiogenesis, anti-angiogenic targeting plus therapeutic combinations with established treatments, this is an ideal reference for students, graduate scientists and medics, as well as those working in the pharmaceutical industry.
