Abstract excerpt
Published data on the association of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -1154G>A polymorphism with cancer risk is inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of association between VEGF -1154G>A polymorphism and the risk of cancer, we performed a meta-analysis of 7,071 cancer cases and 7,693 controls from 16 published case-control studies. Our meta-analysis didn't reveal an association between VEGF...
