Levels of sICAM, which may represent endothelial damage, were found to be significantly associated with atherosclerosis risk and unrelated to sTM in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study (Wu et al., 2003).

These cells may arise from existing normal and/or tumour vasculature (known as mature circulating endothelial cells (CECs)) or may represent endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) derived from stem cells (probably from the bone marrow) that may contribute to neovascularisation (Blann and Pretorius, 2006).

Hannen and Riediger (2004) reported that large blood vessels in tumours are functional, whereas small ones may represent single endothelial cells without significant perfusion capability.
