The Angiogenic Switch for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A and Cyclooxygenase-2 in Prostate Carcinoma: Correlation with Microvessel Density, Androgen Receptor Content and Gleason Grade

Objective: Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth and metastasis; however, angiogenic factors are not uniformly expressed in prostate carcinoma. Our aim was to determine the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in prostate carcinomas in relatio...
