Reciprocal regulation of 17beta-estradiol, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 during growth and progression of epithelial ovarian cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the key regulator of angiogenesis in the development of various cancers. Previous studies have examined the relationship between VEGF gene promoter polymorphisms such as -2578C/A and -460C/T and bladder cancer risk; however, these results are inconclusive. Therefo...
