Angiogenesis is essential for tumour growth and important in tumour metastasis and prognosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) stimulates endothelial proliferation in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo. VEGF expression has been correlated with high vascularity in tumours, including carcinoma of
As in other tumors, the assessment of microvessel density (MVD) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may be essential to perform an effective anti-angiogenic therapy for this tumor. The relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and MVD of HCC as well as the surrounding liver remain
