Detecting Cancer

Cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells. We know that more cells means more blood supply.

Therefore, any place in the body that undergoes division, also undergoes angiogenesis.

To detect cancer, we might need to detect areas in the body that undergo angiogenesis.

How do we detect angiogenesis? [1] Maybe it's areas that have high stem cell activation, or areas that express FGFs.

There was a TED talk, that mentioned muscles cells might have molecules that significantly reduces their chances of developing or getting cancer. they must have molecules that aids them [2].
