## Background: Angiogenesis is essential for solid tumor growth and metastasis. vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf), a recently identified growth factor with significant angiogenic properties, may be a major tumor angiogenesis regulator in vivo. conversely, there have been few studies of the

## Background: Recent studies on the role of bcl-2 in malignant tumors have suggested its prognostic significance. the goals of the current study were to determine any correlation between bcl-2 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and histopathology, lymph node metastasis, and clinical
The bcl-2 proto-oncogene is a known inhibitor of apoptosis and may be an important regulator of tumor growth. In the present study, bcl-2-protein expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry and correlated with prognosis in a series of 150 potentially curatively resected squamous-cell carcino
## BACKGROUND. Expression of nm23 has been shown to be inversely correlated with the metastatic potential of several human cancers. In the current study, the expression and prognostic impact of nm23 was immunohistochemically studied in 413 curatively resected gastric carcinomas. ## METHODS. Tumor
