Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability of tumors. In the present study we evaluated the relation of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VEGF gene with progression-free survival. Furthermore, we evaluated the functional significance of the SNPs as determined by the influence on serum VEGF levels in ovarian cancer....
