Cancerous cells depend on the rapid growth of new blood vessels to grow.
This vessel growth, called angiogenesis, is required for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells and researchers have been searching for ways to block this vessel growth to fight cancer. Much of the blindness in diabetes is caused by proliferative vascular disease, an abnormal growth of new blood vessels, or angiogenisis, into the vitreous, the clear gel in the middle of the eye. This growth is triggered by a lack of oxygen and not by cancer, but the mechanism for growth has many other similarities to what happens in cancer. When the vitreous is jostled, these unsupported vessels can break and bleed into the vitreous with a sudden loss of vision.
