Circulating Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, C-reactive Protein and Urinary Neopterin Concentrations During dose-dense Chemotherapy

Circulating Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, C-reactive Protein and Urinary Neopterin Concentrations During dose-dense Chemotherapy

Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor progression. Prominent among angiogenic factors is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is produced by cancer cells as well as by the cells infiltrating tumor stroma, mainly macrophages. Macrophage activation may be assessed by measuring serum or...
