## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. A considerable body of evidence supports the concept that a significant number of cutaneous malignant melanomas progress through a precursor lesion or dysplastic melanocytic nevi (DN). Tumor angiogenesis likely plays a critical role in early development of melanoma, and

Expression of angiogenic and lymphangiogenic factors by tumours may influence the route of metastatic spread. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a regulator of tumour angiogenesis, but studies of the inhibition of solid tumour growth by neutralizing anti-VEGF antibodies indicated that othe
## Abstract Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is controlled by a balance between positive and negative endothelial regulatory factors. Soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐1 (sVEGFR1), a naturally occurring soluble form of VEGFR1, is a negative counterpart of the vasc
