Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Polymorphisms Are Associated with Prognosis in Ovarian Cancer
1 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an important regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, is involved in various steps of ovarian carcinogenesis. Gene polymorphisms within the gene encoding VEGF were shown to be independently associated with an adverse outcome in various malignancies. No data are available for ovarian cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: In the present multicenter study, we...
