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-

## Abstract Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is controlled by a balance between positive and negative endothelial regulatory factors. Soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptorβ1 (sVEGFR1), a naturally occurring soluble form of VEGFR1, is a negative counterpart of the vasc
Many studies have shown that angiogenesis plays an important role in the growth, progression, and metastasis of solid tumors. Recently, several angiogenic factors have been identified. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to be one such angiogenic factor and is also thought to be a s
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a central role in angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. We investigated the associations between VEGF gene polymorphisms and gastric cancer (GC) risk predisposition and prognostic characteristics in an Omani population, an ethnic gro
