Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis plays an important role in the initiation and progression of many malignancies including prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, genes implicated in angiogenic pathways could be susceptibility candidate genes for this malignancy. In this respect, we investigated the impact of functional genetic variants of TSP1 (N700S) and MMP9 (-1562 C/T) genes on the development and progression of PCa. This case-control...
