One promising new treatment for cancer uses "angiogenesis inhibitors" such as Avastin®.This treatment works because a growing tumor requires additional nutrients,and thus excretes substances to encourage growth of new blood vessels to "feed" the tumor.Angiogenesis inhibitors prevent that blood vessel growth.What might be one benefit of this treatment over traditional chemotherapy?
A) It would not affect most dividing cells,and so it would be more specific than traditional chemotherapy.
B) It would be able to target all tumors,and so it would be less selective than traditional chemotherapy.
C) It would starve cells in a tumor,which would kill them more gradually than traditional chemotherapy.
D) It targets only rapidly dividing cells because those are the ones that form tumors.
E) All of the above.
