VEGF-C in rectal cancer tissues promotes tumor invasion and metastasis.
CONCLUSIONS: 1) VEGF-C is highly expressed in rectal cancer tissues; 2) The positive expression of VEGF-C is positively correlated with tumor invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage; 3) Detection of VEGF-C expression can be used as a prognostic marker in rectal cancer.
