Regarding the relationship between TAMs and angiogenesis, various studies have demonstrated that TAMs are recruited to hypovascular areas, secreting several pro‐angiogenic factors such as VEGF, PDGF, EGF and FGF‐2, thereby enhancing tumour neovascularization 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 25, 28, 29, 30, 56, 57, 58. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is neoplasm.
