PURPOSE: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in angiogenesis-associated genes might play an important role in activity of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib and could affect survival of cancer patients treated with this drug. The aim of this retrospective study was to elucidate the role of 10 known SNPs in VEGFA, VEGFR1, VEGFR2 and VEGFR3 as potential prognostic and predictive markers in an independent...
