Introduction: Tumors employ a variety of strategies to ensure their survival and proliferation, with vascular co-option emerging as a key mechanism driving tumor growth and metastasis. Unlike traditional angiogenesis, where tumors stimulate the formation of new blood vessels, vascular co-option involves the exploitation of existing host vasculature by tumor cells. This phenomenon plays an important role in tumor progression and metastatic dissemination, offering novel insights into cancer biology and therapeutic resistance. In this blog, let’s discuss the mechanisms of vascular co-option, its impact on tumor progression, and the therapeutic implications of targeting this intricate process.   Mechanisms of Vascular Co-option:…
