Figure 2From: Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) in esophageal cancer correlates with lymph node metastasis and poor patient prognosisComparison of mRNA expression of VEGF-C in cancer and corresponding noncancerous esophageal mucosa (a) and in Stage0-2A patients and Stage2B-4A patients (b). The VEGF-C expression in ESCC tumors is significantly higher than in the corresponding noncancerous esophageal mucosa (a). The VEGF-C expression is higher in Stage2B-4A patients than in Stage0-2A patients (b).Back to article page
