Title: [Review of relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor C & D and lymph node metastasis of malignant tumor].
Abstract: The mechanism and inhibition of lymph node metastasis of malignant tumor are one of the research hot points. There are many researches indicating that vascular endothelial growth factor-C(VEGF-C) and vascular endothelial growth factor-D(VEGF-D) were closely associated with lymph node metastasis of malignant tumor. This article mainly reviewed the structures, functional characteristics, possible mechanisms of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in lymph node metastasis, and current progress of inhibition of lymph node metastasis of malignant tumor.
