Abstract
Tumour angiogenesis is generally viewed as the consequence of an ‘angiogenic switch’, i.e. a genetic event that endows the tumour with the ability to recruit blood vessels from the neighbouring tissue. Whether the up-regulation of angiogenesis stimulators (]) or the down-regulation of angiogenesis inhibitors (2), the ‘angiogenic switch’ is conceived as a stochastic event in the succession of genetic hits that underlie tumour progression.
