Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate serum and tissue levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and to evaluate correlations between serum and tissue parameters with respect to clinicopathological features in patients with lung cancer.
