Blood Markers for Vasculogenesis Increase with Tumor Progression in Patients with Breast Carcinoma
20 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies show that AC133-a hematopoietic stem cell antigen, when coex-pressed with endothelial markers, identifies a population of endothelial precursor cells (EPCs) in peripheral blood that function in tumor vasculogenesis in animals. Little is known about whether EPCs contribute to human tumor vasculogenesis. We attempted to determine if, through increased peripheral expression of AC133 or endothelial...
