Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelial cell-specific potent mitogen involved in a number of pathologic processes, including angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. Polymorphisms of VEGF gene have been associated with susceptibility to several cancers. VEGF gene susceptibility to bladder cancer (BC), however, still remains controversial. We analyzed association of the -2578C/A, -7C/T,...
