Clinical significance of VEGF-A, -C and -D expression in esophageal malignancies [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factors ( VEGF)- A, - C and - D are members of the proangiogenic VEGF family of glycoproteins. VEGF-A is known to be the most important angiogenic factor under physiological and pathological conditions, while VEGF-C and VEGF-D

Barrett's esophagus is an important step in the pathway to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Since most patients with Barrett's esophagus are undiagnosed and patients present with advanced adenocarcinoma de novo, prognosis for this disease remains poor. To identify those people with Barrett's esophagus who are at particular risk many new technologies are ...
