Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is necessary for microvasculature development and important for growth and spread of pancreatic tumors. Functional polymorphism of VEGF gene at position C-460T and G+405C may influence VEGF serum level. VEGF gene polymorphisms at position C-460T and G+405C were evaluated in 85 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA), 72 - with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and 50 healthy...
