Judah Folkman, Researcher, Dies at 74

Published: January 16, 2008
Dr. Judah Folkman, a path-breaking cancer researcher who faced years of skepticism before his ideas led to successful treatments, died Monday in Denver. He was 74.

Dr. Folkman, a professor at Harvard and director of the vascular biology program at Childrens Hospital Boston, is considered the father of the idea that tumors can be kept in check by choking off the supply of blood they need to grow.
The approach is now embodied in several successful cancer drugs, most notably Avastin, by Genentech.
His vision and ideas literally changed the course of modern medicine, said Dr. William Li, a former student of Dr. Folkmans, who is president of the Angiogenesis Foundation, an organization that promotes the promise of Dr. Folkmans approach. Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood vessels.

It seems you're trying to erect a strawman rather than address the issue of the published comment
