Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Functional polymorphisms (SNPs) of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are associated with the incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). An impact of VEGF-SNPs on prognosis of OSCC patients seems possible. Therefore, correlations between prognostic parameters of OSCC patients and five VEGF-SNPs were determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a retrospective long-term study, in 113 OSCC...
