Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is a hallmark of tumor pathogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical regulator of angiogenesis and its inhibition has become a successful approach to antitumor therapy across tumor types. The VEGF gene is highly polymorphic with multiple common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter, 5' untranslated region and 3' untranslated region. There is evidence that...
