FGF2 and neoplasm: Angiogenesis is proven to play a key role in tumor growth and progression and several angiogenic factors such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), PDGF (platelet derived growth factor), bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) and HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) found to be among key regulators of tumor angiogenesis [1].
