| Research Abstract |
The involvement of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C/VEGF receptor-3 axis in the induction of lymphangiogenesis results in lymphatic spread of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, Epstein-Barr virus-associated latent membrane protein-1 was not associated with the mechanism.Knowing the status of lymphangiogenesis in the regional lymph nodes in tongue cancer would help in predicting which patients will develop nodal recurrence. Thus, therapeutic approach which blocks lymphangiogenic factors may be beneficial in suppressing the lymphatic spread of tongue cancer with intense intranodal lymphangiogenesis.
