Abstract excerpt
The vascular endothelial growth factor regulates angiogenesis that is increased in glioma. VEGF polymorphisms are thought to modulate vascular endothelial growth factor plasma levels and therefore may be implicated in glioma risk. We aimed to clarify the role of VEGF and von Willebrand factor polymorphisms in glioma susceptibility and prognosis. A case-control study of 126 glioma patients and 180 cancer-free...
