Abstract excerpt
Among the possible genetic contributors to cancer-related venous thromboembolism (VTE), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) could play an important role, as an imbalance of the VEGFA system (either disease-related or drug-induced) may result in a disturbance of vascular homeostasis. Thus, this study was designed to investigate the predictive role of eight different VEGFA gene promoter single nucleotide...
