## 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.
Angiogenesis is a key process in tumour growth and metastasis, and microvessel density has been found to influence the prognosis of endometrial carcinoma patients. Less is known about regulators of angiogenesis. Studies of other tumour types have indicated that the density of tumourassociated macrop
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a secreted member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of heparin-binding proteins. Studies reported to date indicate that it functions primarily as an important paracrine mediator of epithelial cell growth and differentiation. KGF appears to act via bindi
## BACKGROUND. The majority of colorectal carcinomas, if not all, arise from a benign adenoma. The DNA of the carcinomatous cells frequently has mutations in several genes. However, it is not exactly clear when during the neoplastic process each mutation develops. An adenoma with an area of in sit
