Tumor vascular permeability to a nanoprobe correlates to tumor-specific expression levels of angiogenic markers.

Tumor vascular permeability to a nanoprobe correlates to tumor-specific expression levels of angiogenic markers.

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-2 is the major mediator of the mitogenic, angiogenic, and vascular hyperpermeability effects of VEGF on breast tumors. Overexpression of VEGF and VEGF receptor-2 is associated with the degree of pathomorphosis of the tumor tissue and unf...
