Current progress in the inflammatory background of angiogenesis in gynecological cancers

Abstract

A tumor growth depends on the potency of the tumor to support itself with nutrients and oxygen. The development of a vascular network within the tumor is key to its survival. The permanent contest between the tumor and its host involves tumor cells on one side and an immunological system and tissue stroma on the other. The angiogenesis is not only a specialty of the tumor, but it also depends on this complex multidirectional interaction. The most common gynecological cancers, cervical, endometrial and ovarian carcinoma are good examples for studying this problem. In this review, we aim to show that an inflammatory response against a tumor can be reverted into an undesirable process leading to the development of a vascular network within the tumor and, subsequently, further growth of the tumor and progression of a disease. Therefore, a key for tumor management should be searched within the immunological system, rather than focused on cell cycle and anti-angiogenic treatment only.
