Judah Folkman, who pioneered a groundbreaking cancer treatment known as angiogenesis inhibition, where tumours are starved of their blood supply, died aged 74, on Monday night in Denver, Colorado, USA.
His wife, Paula Folkman said on Tuesday that her husband probably died of a heart attack while changing planes en route to a conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, according to a New York Times report this morning, Wednesday.
President and Medical Director of the Angiogenesis Foundation, Dr William W Li, said in a statement on the Foundation's website that the news of Dr Folkman's death "comes as a great shock to all who trained with and were students of this remarkable surgeon, scientist, teacher, and visionary".
