Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis has been shown to be increased in various human tumors including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to be one of the most important angiogenic factors in tumorigenesis. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether polymorphism of VEGF-1154 (A/G) genotypes are associated with the risk of laryngeal SCC. METHODS: A prospective,...
