Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: +936C>T polymorphism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most investigated polymorphisms, it has been suggested that it plays a vital role in tumorigenesis. Intensive studies centering on the association between VEGF +936C>T polymorphism and lung cancer risk or lung cancer patients' overall survival were conducted in recent years, but with inconclusive and ambiguous results....
