Serum vascular endothelial growth factor‐C combined with multi‐detector CT in the preoperative diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer

Abstract

SVEGF-C may be a biomarker for a preoperative diagnosis of LNM. In conjunction with MDCT, SVEGF-C can improve the accuracy of a diagnosis of LNM in GC. A higher SVEGF-C level and an MDCT-positive finding could predict the poorer prognosis of GC.
