insidious symptomatology, late clinical presentation, aggressive behavior, and high …

BACKGROUND The Ets‐1 transcription factor is proposed to play a role in tumor invasion.
To evaluate the biologic significance of Ets‐1 in the progression of squamous cell carcinoma …

BACKGROUND: The prognostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) in
patients with esophageal cancer (EC) remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis …

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF)-A,-C and-D are members of the proangiogenic
VEGF family of glycoproteins. VEGF-A is known to be the most important angiogenic factor …

AIM: Ets1 proto-oncogene is a transcription factor involved in the activation of several genes
of tumor invasion and metastasis. We aimed to determine the relationship between the …

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

The Ets-1 transcription factor plays important roles in invasiveness and angiogenesis. Using
automated immunodetection, we investigated Ets-1 expression and tumor microvessel …

Background: VEGF is a prime mediator of tumorigenesis and metastasis. Various studies
assessing the prognostic value of VEGF in patients with esophageal cancer remain …

Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is known to act in lymphangiogenesis.
Recent reports suggest VEGF-C plays a role in the spread of several cancers to the lymph …

Objective: The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess the impact of VEGF
