Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor expression correlates with tumour angiogenesis and prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Angiogenesis is a recently described prognostic factor in non-small-cell lung cancer. Platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF), shown to be the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase (TP), induces angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. High intracellular levels of the enzyme are associated with...
