The expression of PAX6, PTEN, vascular endothelial growth factor, and epidermal growth factor receptor in gliomas: relationship to tumor grade and survival.

Abstract

The expression levels of PAX6, PTEN, and VEGF but not EGFR were independent prognostic markers, and the model including 7 variables was able to account for 55% of the variation in survival times for malignant astrocytic glioma patients.
