Background The prognostic significance of immunocytochemical analysis of tumour vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its 2 receptors, VEGF-R1 and VEGF-R2, remains …

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their receptors (VEGFRs) are important
regulators of blood and lymphatic vessel growth and vascular permeability. Both blood and …

Tumor growth and metastasis depend on angiogenesis, and the vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF) is known to be one of the most important angiogenic factors although the …

Background Angiogenesis is essential for the growth of solid tumors, including head and
neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Angiogenesis is regulated by angiogenic factors …

To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) mRNA and
CD 31 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and its promotion of lymphatic …

Lymph node metastasis, including lymph node micrometastasis (LMM), is one of the most
important prognostic factors in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Vascular …

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is a key regulator of angiogenesis that binds
to the receptors VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. It is well known that VEGF-A levels are increased …

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 …

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< …

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