Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis plays a central role in bladder cancer progression. VEGFA regulates angiogenesis, whereas YKL-40 is a pro-angiogenic biomarker. The relationship between VEGFA polymorphism and circulating YKL-40 remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: A hospital-based case-control study involving 120 bladder cancer patients and 120 age- and sex-matched healthy controls was conducted. VEGFA rs833061...
