## Abstract Angiogenesis plays an important role in growth, progression, and metastasis of tumors. The most important regulator of angiogenesis is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). __VEGF__ expression has been associated with advance stage and poor survival of several cancers. In the prese

## Abstract With an incidence of about 300β000 new cases colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancerβrelated death in Europe and the United States. Environmental and genetic factors influence CRC risk. Hypoxiaβinducible factorβ1 (HIFβ1), a heterodimeric protein composed of two sub
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the key mediator of angiogenesis, plays an important role in the development of different kind of tumors, including gastric cancer (GC). The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that genetic variants of __VEGF__ are associated with risk
## Abstract The association between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms and gastric cancer risk is still controversial and ambiguous. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between VEGF gene polymorphisms and gastric cancer risk in Chinese Han patien
