Summary
The role of angiogenesis has been less clear in lymphoma than in solid tumors, in part
related to the heterogeneity of disease and technical issues. In addition to vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) effects on angiogenesis and the integrity of tumor
vasculature, autocrine VEGF-receptor (VEGF-R)-mediated signaling may play a role in lymphoma.
Microvessel density, a measure of angiogenesis, is highest in peripheral T-cell lymphomas
(PTCL), followed by diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) and intra-follicular follicular lymphoma
(FL).
