title: Angiogenesis as a biologic and prognostic indicator in human breast carcinoma.
abstract: In this review we describe angiogenesis pathways involved in the development of breast carcinoma. Different assessment techniques for angiogenesis and their optimisation are discussed. Angiogenesis is an important factor for prognosis and will be increasingly important in therapeutic decisions.
