Survival and development of tumors depends on nutritional and respiratory biological events and exchanges ensured by blood and lymph. Tumor proliferation is associated with an increase in the vascular networks either near the tumor or intra-tumorally. Tumor tissues are able to increase their provisionment according to their needs while directing and optimizing the development of peri-tumoral vessels. The production of growth factors stimulating neo-formation of lymphatic vessels by cancer cells constitutes one of the adaptations responsible for metastatic propagation. During tumor development the lymphatic system is considered in many cases of cancer as the primary means of metastasis dissemination. The study of the lymphatic system setting and ways to block it are important points to consider in oncology.

La survie et le développement des tumeurs dépendent d’événements et d’échanges biologiques nutritionnels et respiratoires assurés par le sang et la lymphe. La prolifération tumorale est associée à un accroissement des réseaux vasculaires soit à proximité de la tumeur, soit en intra-tumoral. Les tissus tumoraux sont capables d’augmenter leurs approvisionnements, en fonction de leurs besoins au sein de l’organisme, en orientant et en optimisant le développement des vaisseaux péri-tumoraux. La production par les cellules cancéreuses de facteurs de croissance stimulant la néoformation des vaisseaux lymphatiques constitue une des adaptations responsables de la propagation métastatique. Au cours du développement tumoral, le système lymphatique est considéré dans de nombreux cas de cancers comme la voie primaire de dissémination des métastases. L’étude de la mise en place du système lymphatique et éventuellement de son blocage sont des points importants à considérer en oncologie., Survival and development of tumors depends on nutritional and respiratory biological events and exchanges ensured by blood and lymph.
