Research Abstract |
To analyze the relationship between lung adenocarcinomas with micropapillary pattern (MPP) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), 517 cases of resected lung cancers were collected and clinic-pathologic study was performed. MPP- positive lung cancers revealed poor prognosis, frequent vascular invasion, and frequent lymph node metastasis. Immunohistochemically, VEGF-C and R3 strongly expressed in MPP portions. By the analysis on mice models, it was considered that VEGFR-1 and 2 plays an important role in tumor progression on the stromal tissue.
