Mechanistic modeling quantifies the influence of tumor growth kinetics on the response to anti-angiogenic treatment.

Tumors exploit angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature, in order to obtain nutrients required for continued growth and proliferation. Targeting factors that regulate angiogenesis, including the potent promoter vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is there...
