## Background: Angiogenesis is a prerequisite to cancer growth and metastasis and is induced by a variety of angiogenic factors, including platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (pdecgf). the authors investigated the expression of pdecgf in 58 initial primary bladder carcinomas. ## Method
classified into two groups based on TNM stage: early and advanced stage disease groups. PD-ECGF expressions in HCC tissues were immunohistologically examined.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to take an important role in tumor angiogenesis. The present study examined VEGF expression immunohistochemically in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) in various histological grades and sizes. In HCCs that were composed of cancerous tissues of sing
