## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a heparinβbinding, dimeric polypeptide with potent mitogenic effects on endothelial cells. VEGF expression has also been reported in ovarian epithelial tumors (OETs), which may be associated with gonadotropin stimulatioin. We recently reporte

The PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 tumor-suppressor gene, which maps to chromosome 10q23.3, is mutated and homozygously deleted in a variety of human tumors, including endometrioidtype ovarian tumors. We examined 33 primary ovarian cancers and 3 ovarian borderline tumors for allelic imbalance (AI) of the 10q23.3 r
DNA repair gene polymorphisms and mutations are known to influence cancer risk. We studied whether polymorphisms in DNA double strand break (DSB) repair genes are associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk. Up to 1,600 cases and 4,241 controls from 4 separate genetic association studies fr
