CCSVI and cancer

Seems to uneducated me:
One of the known features of CCSVI (not saying anything about "MS") is the presence of many collateral veins. The reason for these, as discovered in studies concerning flow rates in collateral and jugular veins, is likely to be the presence of a stenosis, with resulting hypoxia, and the generation of replacement venous capacity to replace what was lost to the stenosis.

I have my own opinion that the collateral growth results in remissions. In any case, collateral growth requires a process known as angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is thought to be necessary for the growth of tumors from pre-cancerous growths. It is likely that something goes wrong with angiogenesis and makes the growths immortal, with out-of-control angiogenesis.

Perhaps the collateral veins induced by the hypoxic jugulars, somehow tame the growth of the precancerous growths into tumors. Perhaps there is some natural chemical needed for the venous angiogenesis which somehow tames and makes less likely the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells. Perhaps artificially induced CCSVI can control cancer. Who knows? I don't.
