Word of the Day
VEGFR2
VEGFR2, or Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2, is a protein found on the surface of cells that line blood vessels. It plays a critical role in angiogenesis, the process of forming new blood vessels. In lung cancer, targeting VEGFR2 with specific inhibitors can help disrupt the blood supply to tumors, inhibiting their growth and spread.
