According to published research from Germany, "tumor growth and metastasis in breast cancer are correlated to neoangiogenesis, which became a potential candidate as a prognostic factor in this tumor type. Several studies have used immunohistochemical staining to count microvessel density as a marker of neoangiogenesis.
