Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is an Independent Prognostic Indicator of Worse Outcome in Gastric Cancer Patients
2008
Background
Unlike other human tumors, gastric cancer remains a great therapeutic challenge since no standardized postoperative treatment exists. Knowledge of molecular pathways determining the behavior of individual gastric tumors seems to be crucial for therapeutic decisions, and evaluation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression might be critical for prognosis, assessment, and identification of patients that could be treated with tailored therapies.
