Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms and overexpression are involved in high-grade malignant gliomas. The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of +405C>G VEGF gene polymorphism in patients diagnosed by glioblastoma and to test its association with the overall survival (OS). METHODS: Patients diagnosed for...
