Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) has been shown to promote survival and resistance to chemotherapy of AML-cells in vitro. We investigated the expression of VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 in the bone marrow and pretherapeutic plasma levels of VEGF-C in patients with newly diagnosed AML. Expression of VE
Angiogenesis is esential for tumour growth and metastasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent endothelial cell mitogen and is an important component of the angiogenic stimulus in a range of human neoplasias. In addition to its mitogenic activities, VEGF has also been found to stim
