Abstract
Angiogenesis is a key cancer hallmark involved in tumor growth and metastasis development. Angiogenesis and tumor microenvironment significantly influence the response of tumors to therapies. Imaging techniques have changed our understanding of the process of angiogenesis, the resulting vascular performance, and the tumor microenvironment. This article reviews the status and potential clinical value of the imaging modalities used to assess the status of tumor vasculature in vivo, before, during, and after treatment.
