Abstract Background and Objectives: Angiogenic factors play a major role in tumor growth
and metastasis. The purpose of this study was to clarify the prognostic significance of the …

Background/aims: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important
factors for angiogenesis in various malignant tumors. However, the clinicopathological and …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic factor in human cancer tissue.
To clarify the clinical significance of this factor, we investigated the VEGF expression in early …

In this study, we investigated whether expression of vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF)-C and/or VEGF-D correlates with clinicopathological features of human gastric …

Background: It has recently been reported that the microvessel density in a tumor correlates
with hematogenous metastasis in gastric carcinoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate …

BACKGROUND. Many studies have shown that angiogenesis plays an important role in the
growth, progression, and metastasis of solid tumors. Recently, several angiogenic factors …

Background Many studies have shown that angiogenesis plays an important role in the
process of cancer development and progression. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) …

BACKGROUND Recently many studies have demonstrated that the degree of tumor
angiogenesis is related to the aggressiveness of the tumor and clinical outcome. Vascular …

AIMS: We aimed to investigate the relationship among VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 expression,
lymphatic metastasis and patient prognosis in gastric carcinoma. MATERIAL AND …

The angiogenic factor called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-D is a ligand for
VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2/KDR) and receptor-3 (VEGFR-3/Flt-4). It is implicated in the …
