## 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,
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the primary physiologic regulator of platelet production. The effect of TPO on platelet function, both alone and in combination with other hematopoietic growth factors, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and epinephrine, was investigated using fluorescent-labeled antibodies to the
