Tumor angiogenesis and therapy
Mutations of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes often lead to transformation of a normal cell to become a malignant cell. However, most malignant cells cannot grow to a clinically detectable tumor mass in the absence of blood vessels. Thus, a clinically manifested large tumor has to switch on an angiogenic phenotype to support their growth.

Trypsin digest of cancer cells surface stimulates anti-tumor immune response better than cancer cells themselves [PDF]
Antigens expressed on the surface of cancer cells are accessible targets for both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, and are therefore potential candidates for vaccine development.
