Angiogenesis is a possible target in the treatment of human gliomas. To evaluate the role of 3 growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), in the angiogenic cascade, we determined their levels
## BACKGROUND. Clinical data clearly indicate a correlation between tumor neovascularization, aggressiveness of tumor growth, and metastatic spread. One of the key factors capable of stimulating tumor angiogenesis is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Using an immunoassay for VEGF, we asse
