Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogenic factor in gastric carcinogenesis. Angiogenesis (i.e., the growth of new blood vessels) is closely associated with the incidence and development of gastric cancer. Our previous study found that COX-2 stimulates gastric cancer cells to induce expression o[r]

Considering that vWF may act as a key factor in resist- ance to metastasis and also as an inhibitor of angiogenesis, vWF may be a useful progrognostic marker; however, data from other studies have indicated that it may not be a gen- eral marker for all cancer types. Studies of non-small cell[r]
