## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and VEGF receptors (VEGFR) play an essential role in the angiogenesis of both pathologic and nonpathologic conditions. However, the prognostic significance of VEGF and VEGFR expression in ovarian carcinoma is unclear.
Vascular endothelial growth factor and interleukin-8 are associated with poor prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer patients

## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has emerged as one of the most important angiogenic growth factors from experimental __in vitro__ and __in vivo__ studies. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between VEGF expression and microvessel density (MVD) and defined t
## Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf), a recently identified growth factor with significant angiogenic properties, is a multifunctional angiogenic cytokine that is expressed in many tumors. high vegf expression has been shown to correlate with the incidence of metastasis and poor
