To clarify the clinical significance of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF) in squamous cell carcinoma in the thoracic esophagus, particularly as a prognostic …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and tumor microvessel density (MVD)
were examined by immunohistochemical staining in 117 cases of thoracic esophageal …

Results VEGF expression was observed in 30 of the patients (57.7%). The microvessel
count was significantly higher (p= 0.007), and the apoptotic index was significantly lower (p< …

Background The diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer by the presence
and number of metastatic lymph nodes is an extremely important prognostic factor. In …

Background Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF‐C) is the only factor known to
cause lymphangiogenesis. In esophageal cancer the histologic tumor type and lymph node …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a crucial role in angiogenesis of many solid
malignancies. The influence of angiogenesis and VEGF expression on progression and …

Objective: To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and
microvessel density (MVD) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and clarify the …

Objective The purpose of this study was to specifically investigate the clinicopathological
role of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) as well as the …

BACKGROUND Angiogenesis is essential for solid tumor growth and metastasis. Vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a recently identified growth factor with significant …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) affects malignant tumours by promoting
angiogenesis. The tumour-suppressor gene p53 has been thought to regulate VEGF. We …
