Association of serum vascular endothelial growth factor level with estrogen receptors status in breast cancer patients

ABSTRACT

Aim: angiogenesis is essential for tumour growth and metastasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] has been suggested as the major angiogenic factor in breast carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between the serum of vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] in breast cancer patients and its relationship to various prognostic indices and estrogen receptor status
