Vascular endothelial growth factor C (<it>VEGF-C</it>) in esophageal cancer correlates with lymph node metastasis and poor patient prognosis
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer by the presence and number of metastatic lymph nodes is an extremely important prognostic factor. In addition, the indication of non-surgical therapy is gaining more attenti...
