## Abstract The purpose of this review was to determine whether imatinib mesylate (STI571, Gleevec) has a role in the treatment of osteosarcoma. The expression of plateletβderived growth factor (PDGF) receptor and its ligand was examined in a panel of surgical specimens obtained from 54 osteosarcom

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the resected pulmonary adenocarcinoma tissue of 88 patients was detected immunohistochemically by the avidin-biotin-peroxidase technique to determine whether or not it is a prognostic parameter. The 88 patients were divided into PDGF (-) and PDGF (+) groups a
The PDGFbr gene has been implicated in many physiological processes including development and wound healing. Aberrant expression of the receptor is seen in many pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases. To study the mechanisms of PDGFbr regulation, we identified the
