Background Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) cancers are the most lethal cancers with a high
incidence and poor prognosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) glycoprotein plays …

Background: The effects of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene− 2578C/A
polymorphism on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk have been investigated in some studies; …

Background Angiogenesis play a critical role in the development and progression of tumors
in solid tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important …

Aims: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world and its etiology
involves the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. New blood vessels form …

Objectives: Tumor angiogenesis is known to support the spread and invasion of tumor cells,
allow distant organ metastasis and to result in poorer prognoses and increased mortality …

Background: Studies investigating the association between vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF) polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk report conflicting results. To …

Background Polymorphisms in angiogenesis-related genes and metabolic syndrome (MetS)
risk factors play important roles in cancer development. Moreover, recent studies have …

Functional polymorphisms in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) alter the
susceptibility toward different gastrointestinal tract (GIT) cancers. In this study, we explored …

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‑2578C/A polymorphism has been previously
reported to be associated with cancer risk; however, the results have been controversial …

Background Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) plays an integral role in
angiogenesis by contributing to growth, development, and metastasis of solid tumors …
