Abstract:
Angiogenesis plays a critical role in growth and metastasis of lung cancer.The strongest tumor angiogenesis factor known is the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).Therefore,anti-VEGF therapy which can restrain tumor angiogenesis is an important form of the targeted therapy of lung cancer.The expression of VEGF is also significant to the prognosis of lung cancer.
