Microvessel density and VEGF expression in pituitaries of pregnant women.
OBJECTIVE In pregnant women, the pituitary is enlarged and the prolactin (PRL) secreting cells increase in size and number. This PRL cell hyperplasia is associated with hyperprolactinemia. The aim of the present work was to investigate adenohypophysial vascularization and immunoexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in pituitaries of pregnant and post-partum women and compare t...
متن کاملAnatomic Pathology / MICROVESSEL DENSITY AND VEGF IN LIVER CANCER
Assessment of angiogenesis may yield important information for an effective antiangiogenic treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) because HCC is characteristically hypervascular. We examined the relationship of microvessel density (MVD), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and VEGF receptors Flt-1 and Flk-1/KDR in 50 patients with HCC and in 3 hepatoma cell lines. VEGF messenger RN...
متن کاملDoes the degree of intratumoural microvessel density and VEGF expression have prognostic significance in osteosarcoma?
The role of angiogenesis as a prognostic indicator in cancer has been extensively studied in recent times with several studies demonstrating a positive correlation for various malignant tumours. However, the role of angiogenesis in osteosarcoma remains a topic of debate. In this study, we aim to evaluate the significance of intratumoural microvessel density (MVD) and the degree of vascular epit...
متن کاملMicrovessel density and VEGF/VEGF receptor status and their role in sarcomas of the pulmonary artery.
Neoangiogenesis, driven by a variety of angiogenic factors, plays an essential role during development and progression of malignant tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors have been designated a central part in the angiogenic process during malignancy. We studied the vascular parameters by means of morphology and morphometry in 7 sarcomas of the pulmonary artery (SPA...
متن کاملVEGF expression, microvessel density and dendritic cell decrease in thyroid cancer
Thyroid cancer is one of the five most common cancers in the age between 20 and 50 years. Many factors including the potent angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and different dendritic cell types are known to be related to thyroid tumourogenesis. The study was performed to address the expression of VEGF and microvessel density in thyroid cancers and to evaluate the effect of VEG...
