ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship of urinary vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and occurrence and invasiveness of bladder cancer. Method The expression of urinary VEGF in 48 patients with bladder cancer (bladder cancer group) and 45 normal cases (control group) were examined by ELISA immunohistochemical staining. Results VEGF levels in urine in bladder cancer group [(174.77±83.41) μg/L] were higher statistically than those in control group [(63.53 ±22.62) μg/L] (P < 0.01), and related to the staging and grading of tumors. VEGF levels were significant higher in invasive lesions [(223.00 ± 83.13) μg/L] than those in superficial ones [(130.40 ± 54.86) μg/L] (P < 0.01). VEGF levels of G3 [(259.23 ± 75.82) μg/L] were significant higher compared with G1 [(138.00± 85.60) μ g/L] and G2 [(146.22 ±47.53) μ g/L] (P < 0.01). Conclusion The concentration of urinary VEGF relates to the clinical staging and pathological grading, and it is a labeling index of the biological behavior of bladder cancer.
