## 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
I read with interest the article by Kettritz et al. 1 regarding the accuracy of stereotactic 11-gauge vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) for diagnosing breast cancer in nonpalpable breast lesions. Of the 2893 VAB procedures performed, 19 (0.7%) yielded findings that were not representative, whereas
Serum human hepatocyte growth factor levels were measured using a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit in patients with liver diseases. Serum human hepatocyte growth factor levels were increased in correlation with derangements of prothrombin time, total bilirubin and other paramete
## Abstract The levels of tumourβspecific antigen, antibody and specific immune complexes in the sera of rats bearing lung nodules of a chemically induced rat hepatoma, produced by intravenous inoculation of viable tumour cells, have been examined and compared with the levels of serum factors in an
