Antiangiogenesis and nutrition
Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood vessels. Tumors can use such processes to improve their supply. Inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels is therefore a research and therapeutic approach in oncology.
What does antiangiogenesis mean?
Antiangiogenesis describes strategies that inhibit the formation of new blood vessels. In medicine, targeted medications are used for this purpose under certain conditions.
Nutrition and research
Possible influences on angiogenic signaling pathways are being investigated for various herbal ingredients in laboratory and preclinical studies. However, this does not mean that certain foods prevent or treat cancer in humans.
Important classification
Nutrition can be part of a health-promoting lifestyle, but it does not replace cancer diagnosis or treatment. If you have cancer, nutritional issues should be discussed with the treatment team.
