Re treating cancer by inhibiting angiogenesis: that is the principle on which the use of shark cartilage as a cancer treatment is based. The claim by its makers is that if you eat enough of it, it prevents the formation of the blood vessels that supply the tumor. Unfortunately, when it was tested scientifically, it was found not to work. (This fact has no implication for the genetic approach, of course.) I know someone who consumed vast quantities of powdered shark cartilage hoping to cure mesothelioma. It was terribly unpleasant, and didn't affect the tumor. Shark cartilage is still being advertised and sold to desperate people, though.
