ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationships of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endometrial cancer of Uighur Women in Xinjiang. METHODS: The serum of 50 endometrial cancer patient's and 70 healthy women' s were collected. VEGF expressions were tested by ELISA method and the correlations of endometrial cancer with VEGF were analysed. The variety of serum VEGF in different clinical stages of endometrial cancer was analyzed. RESULTS: Serum VEGF expressions on endometrial cancer were significantly higher than normal ones (P < 0.01); The serum VEGF level in late stage was significantly higher than early stage (P < 0.01). The serum VEGF level significantly increased from well differentiated to the poorly differentiated cases (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: high level expressions of VEGF are related to the endometrial cancer. Uighur Women in Xinjiang, particularly high expressed in advanced and poorly differentiated endometrial cancer.
