Research on the advances in the studies of VEGF and its receptors in gastric cancer / 中国医学装备

Neovascularization is the basis of tumor growth and metastasis. Angiogenesis depends mainly on the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenesis inhibiting factor. The vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor are the most important and are studied most. The expression of them increased significantly in gastric cancer tissue and serum.. They promote angiogenesis of tumor. They are closely related to the prognosis of patient. The vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor in the gastric cancer are reviewed in this article.
