Vascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphisms are associated with prognosis in ovarian cancer.
PURPOSE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an important regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability, is involved in various steps of ovarian carcinogenesis. Gene polymorphisms within the gene encoding VEGF were shown to be independently associated with an adverse outcome in various malignancies. No data are available for ovarian cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In the present multi...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphisms associated with prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer.
PURPOSE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or its family may be considered to play an important role in lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic tumor spread, thereby affecting prognosis of colorectal cancer. Accordingly, the present study analyzed VEGF gene polymorphisms and their effect on the prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Four hundred and forty-five conse...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor polymorphisms are associated with osteosarcoma susceptibility
Polymorphisms in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene may contribute to osteosarcoma risk, but the results of previous studies have been inconsistent and inconclusive. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess this association more accurately. Relevant studies were collected systemically from three online English databases. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) w...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor polymorphisms and esophageal cancer prognosis.
PURPOSE Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes angiogenesis and vascular permeability. The VEGF gene is polymorphic. We investigated the prognostic significance of three VEGF single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in esophageal cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Three hundred sixty-one patients were genotyped for three VEGF SNPs (-460T/C, 405G/C, and 936C/T) using DNA extracted from prosp...
