Metastases usually do not exhibit the angioneogenesis that the primary tumor
does, therefore I would guess that this process would only really be
beneficial in shutting down the blood supply to the primary tumor. Many
tumors do not metastasize, and spread by local invasion, or local spread...a
good example being the most common of ovarian cancers which implants on
peritoneal surfaces.  Ron

 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
