## Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the esophagus is among the most malignant of neoplasms and is associated with a dismal prognosis. although tumor microvessel density (mvd) is an important prognostic factor in several carcinomas, its role in scc of the esophagus is still controversial
Background. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a specific endothelial cell mitogen that stimulates angiogenesis and plays a crucial role in tumor growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of VEGF and of its two high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors (KDR and Flt-
## BACKGROUND. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been identified as an important factor for tumor angiogenesis, which is essential for the growth, invasion, and metastasis of solid tumors. This study examines the clinical significance of VEGF subtypes in ovarian carcinoma. ## METHODS.
