Title: Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and its Prognostic Value in Gastric Cancer
Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in gastric cancer and its relation with the clinical pathology.Methods Immunohisochemistry method was used to detect the expression of VEGF in 36 cases of gastric cancer and 12 normal gastric tissue specimen.Results The VEGF expression of the gastric cancer was 75%higher than that the at gastric tissue 23.5%(P0.01)and normal gastric tissue 16.7% (P0.01) .But the date of the lymph nodes metastasis group was 87.5%, which was significant higher than that of the non-metastasis group 60.0% (P0.05) and the normal control goup 41.7% (P0.05).Conclusion The higher expression of VEGF in the gastric cancer may be used to evaluate lymph nodes metastasis and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer.
