## BACKGROUND. Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) is an angiogenic factor that has potent chemotactic activity for endothelial cells. Although it is expressed in the majority of colorectal tumors, and some reports suggest that its high expression is related to poor prognosis,
## Abstract This study aimed at clarifying the expression of phosphatase of regenerating liverβ3 (PRLβ3), one member of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) superfamily, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its correlation with clinicopathologic features, including the survival of patients with NPC.
## BACKGROUND. Transforming growth factors β€ (TGFs β€) 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 β€ are correlated with angiog
