Correlation between hepatocyte growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor-A in breast carcinoma.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR, c-met) expressions in homogenous group of breast cancer patients. Tumor samples were collected from 98 patients with invasive ductal breast carc...
