Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis is crucial for the development and metastasis of common cancers, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key mediator in the process of angiogenesis. Numerous studies assessed the associations of VEGF 1154G/A and 2578C/A polymorphisms with prostate cancer risk, but the res...
