"This will be a useful book for scientists and clinicians interested in angiogenesis and related mechanisms. The information is current and the topics are well covered. I am not aware of another recent book focused solely on this subject." --Doody

Francesco Pezzella is a histopathologist and is currently Professor of Tumour Pathology at Oxford. He worked in the past on the pathology of HIV (at the time HTLV III) infection and molecular alterations in lymphoma. Because of his friends pushing him into the field of cancer and blood vessels, eventually he discovered in the mid-nineties, by pure chance, the tumours growing without angiogenesis.
