Abstract excerpt
Different vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms have been shown to result in different VEGF gene responsiveness to various stimuli and different capacity for VEGF protein production. In the present study, we examined four VEGF gene polymorphisms in thirty-six individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gene polymorphisms were correlated with the VEGF protein expression in cancer...
