It is based on two vital clues provided by earlier investigators: first, some tumors have nearby deposits of fibrin, the substance of blood clots, which prevents further bleeding after injury; second, tumors are often associated with slight, local hemorrhaging. Using sophisticated microscopy techniques, the Boston researchers began looking at the point where the tumor meets healthy tissue. Explains Harold Dvorak: "That would have to be the battlefield on which they fought...
