Heparanase and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in the progression of oral mucosal melanoma
Oral mucosal melanoma is an aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis. Heparanase is an endo-beta-d-glucuronidase, which cleaves heparan sulphate chains. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most potent angiogenic mitogen and interaction with its receptor (VEGFR) has been associated wi...
