The CAM is a widely used experimental assay to study, angiogenesis, wound healing, tumor growth and metastatic process. In this study, we have analyzed and compared the existent literature data concerning the growth of the CAM. Moreover, we have analyzed the data concerning the development of the vascular system and the expression of the most important pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors. The availability of these data and their comparative evaluation allow to better analyze the experimental data concerning the testing of different pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic molecules, as well as biomaterials in the CAM assay. Moreover, the dynamic of the angiogenic response to different tumor cell lines and or tumor bioptic specimens, may be also better evaluated and estimated.
