## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinases, such as cβKIT, cβABL, and plateletβderived growth factorβbeta (PDGFRβΞ²), are important regulators of cell growth. Highly potent and selective inhibitors of tyrosine kinases are being investigated as alternatives to standard chemotherapy. One such inhibit
Growth factors of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDCF) family have been thought to possess autocrine functions in certain neoplasms of mesenchymal and glial origin. This notion has been based on observations that these tumors express PDGF genes and produce PDGF-like growth factors. Correspondin
## 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
