Over-expression of both VEGF-C and Twist predicts poor prognosis in human breast cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggested that co-expression of VEGF-C and Twist was associated with larger tumor size, higher numbers of lymph node involvement, D2-40-positive LVI, higher risk of distant metastasis, and worse DFS or OS in breast cancer patients.
