Blood Vessels help tumors grow

"Blood Vessels help tumors grow"
CANCER WARRIOR

Scientists and doctors used research and experimentation to show that blood vessels can grow toward a cancerous tumor and cause a tumor to grow. Further research was performed to justify this experiment. They looked for molecules that cause the tumor to grow and could not find one. They became "pigheaded" and just would not give up when they could not find the reasons and answers.

Finally, they used a pellet and found a molecule that attracted the blood vessels to the tumor. It was found that this could be used with tremendous applications for Cancer treatment.

I feel that the same applications can be used toward teaching and learning. When one can't seem to find the correct answer, one must continue to work, study and apply oneself to learning the answers to questions through reasoning, awareness, research, experiments and a whole lot of perseverance.
