Neovascularization appears to play an early and important part in the evolution of psoriatic plaques. We studied the distribution and production of two known angiogenesis factors, endothelial cell stimulating angiogenesis factor (ESAF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), in the skin of pa
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND To the authors' knowledge, little is known to date regarding the prognostic relevance of measuring serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent stimulator of angiogenesis, in patients with colon carcinoma who undergo surgery. ## METHODS Preoperati
