## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) functions as a regulator of neovascularization in malignant cells. VEGF as a mitogen is thought to alter renal cell carcinoma formation and tumor progression. We investigated the expression of the VEGF gene in order to evaluate its clinical sign
Expression pattern of vascular endothelial growth factor isoform is closely correlated with tumour stage and vascularisation in renal cell carcinoma

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND A high frequency of genetic alterations of the von HippelβLindau (__VHL)__ gene and overexpression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (__VEGF)__ gene have been observed independently in human sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCCs), but to the authors' knowledge the a
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression has been suggested to correlate with intratumoral microvessel density, tumor advancement and prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Previous studies have showed that disruption of cell cycle regulator p16 is related t
