Correlation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Content With Recurrences, Survival, and First Relapse Site in Primary Node-Positive Breast Carcinoma After Adjuvant Treatment

Abstract

The results suggest that VEGF(165) content in tumor cytosols is a predictor of RFS and OS in primary NPBC. VEGF content might also predict outcome after adjuvant endocrine treatment, but further studies in a prospective setting with homologous treatments are required.
