Vascular endothelial growth factor serum concentrations in ovarian cancer
Objective: To determine whether serum vascular endothelial growth factor is an independent prognostic factor in ovarian cancer patients.

Hyper-estrogenism is more common in obese than in non-obese women. Consequently obesity has been shown to increase the risk of hormone dependent tumors. Some investigators have claimed that obesity at...
View ArticleSerum Evaluation of Basic Fibroblast Growth-Factor in Cervical-Cancer Patients
We present the data of 105 serum samples from 20 patients suffering from cervical cancer. Mean serum levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in patients with or without tumor present were 31.3...
