Angiogenesis is
the growth of new blood vessels and the process through
which cancer spreads to other areas of the body. Cells
break off the tumor and essentially “hitch a ride”
on a blood vessel. In prostate cancer, metastasis
of any type makes monotherapy an unacceptable treatment.
Prostate cancer patients with metastasis to the lymph
nodes or bones or other type of distant metastasis will
probably have to undergo more than one type of prostate
cancer treatment.
