The formation of blood vessels to supply a tumour, called 'angiogenisis', is a key part of cancer.

Some Omega 6 products increase of VGEF which promotes blood vessel formation.

This article recognises the role of Omega 3 but does not look in any depth at Omega 6.

Tumor Angiogenesis as a Target for Dietary Cancer Prevention

HER2 is listed as a promoter of angiogenisis

This is a fascinating article on the topic which can be read free.

The article looks at how many of us carry cancerous cells and very small cancers saying

"Microscopic cancer cells are commonly present in the healthy adult, the result of errors during replication of 60–90 trillion cells."

It looks a evidence that many foods may play a part in controlling new blood vessel production.

Some suggest that those with hormone sensitive cancer should be careful about taking Resveratrol.
