## BACKGROUND. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that tumor angiogenesis is a potent prognostic indicator for breast cancer patients. The quantitation of endothelial growth factors is thought to be useful to assess angiogenic phenotype in the tumor. Among the many new endothelial growth fa

Tumor expansion is dependent on angiogenesis, which is regulated by peptide growth factors of which vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most selective and potent. VEGF expression is regulated by steroid hormones in a number of systems, including T47-D human breast cancer cells in
The progression of breast cancer growth and its ability to metastasize are associated with the process of angiogenesis. In this study, we examined the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its specific and functional receptor KDR in human breast tissue. We investigated
