Abstract excerpt
The vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) plays an important role in the angiogenesis and prognosis for gastric cancer. In addition, several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VEGF-A have been shown to affect gene expression and process of angiogenesis. The present study evaluated the correlations between SNPs in VEGF-A and gastric cancer survival. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues of 404...
