Abstract
Angiogenesis plays a critical role in the growth of cancer as tumors consistently require ample blood supply, especially during their exponential growth phase. Tumors will activate angiogenesis pathways through secretion of chemokines and cytokines if they are to grow beyond a few millimeters in size. In this chapter, we will focus on the importance of tumor in initiating angiogenesis in the local onco-sphere, and how angiogenesis also encourages cancer metastasis.
