## BACKGROUND. Transforming growth factors โค (TGFs โค) are involved in a variety of important cellular functions, including cell growth and differentiation, adhesion, migration, extracellular matrix formation, and immune function. Moreover, it has been reported that TGFs โค are correlated with angiog
Recently many studies have demonstrated that the degree of tumor angiogenesis is related to the aggressiveness of the tumor and clinical outcome. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a well characterized inducer of angiogenesis. In this study, the authors investigated the prognostic signifi
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has emerged as one of the most important angiogenic growth factors from experimental __in vitro__ and __in vivo__ studies. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between VEGF expression and microvessel density (MVD) and defined t
