Abstract
Angiogenesis is the term used to describe the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature. The primary process through which new blood vessels are formed in tumors is angiogenesis. In particular, brain tumors are very angiogenic. Hence many of the new treatment modalities against brain tumors target this phenomenon. This chapter aims to introduce the reader to the different aspects and terms related to angiogenesis with the aid of fifteen questions.
