Editorial: Hypoxia and angiogenesis in cancer

Progress in understanding the mechanisms involved in cancer has led to indepth cancer knowledge and novel treatment approaches. Some of these novel approaches have revolutionized cancer treatment, leading to a substantial improvement in patient overall survival. Nonetheless, cancer patients still pose a significant challenge to global health, and its worldwide burden continues to increase. The processes of angiogenesis and hypoxia are essential in tumorigenesis and closely linked to almost all forms of cancer. Angiogenesis, which involves the creation of new blood vessels, is a critical mechanism that facilitates tumor development by providing nourishment and oxygen.
