The disclosed invention is directed to methods and apparatus for detection, prognostic diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer and other hyperproliferative disorders in humans and animals. More particularly, the present invention is directed to vascular mimicry factors that are expressed by tumor cells in various cancers and in diseased tissue and other disorders and methods and apparatus for detection and usage of such vascular mimicry factors. These claims are based on the recent discovery that aggressive, but not non-aggressive, tumor cells can "mimic" other cell types-in the expression of specific genes and in biological function.
