Platelet-Stored Angiogenesis Factors: Clinical Monitoring Is Prone to Artifacts

Background: The analysis of angiogenesis factors in the blood of tumor patients has given diverse results on their prognostic or predictive value. Since mediators of angiogenesis are stored in platelets, their measurement in plasma is sensitive to inadvertent platelet activation during blood process...
