Expression of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF)-1α and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)-D As Outcome Predictors in Resected Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are important angiogenic factors in human cancers. Relative to VEGF-C, prognostic significance of VEGF-D expression and its association with HIF-1α expression remain elusive in esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). We...
