Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins Inhibit Tumor Growth, Study Shows - 14-04-2008, 09:11 PM

Low-molecular-weight heparins block the formation of new blood vessels and prevent tumor growth, according to the results of a study. Angiogenesis -- the development of new blood vessels -- fuels cancer cell reproduction. The use of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) has been shown to extend survival in cancer patients by reducing the clotting action of blood. However, the mechanism is unclear.
