The relationship between polymorphisms in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and gastric cancer is still inconclusive. We investigated whether there is an association between VEGF genetic polymorphisms and risk of gastric cancer, and evaluated the recurrence of advanced gastric cancer after curative resection with adjuvant chemotherapy according to VEGF genetic polymorphisms. | Genetic polymorphisms of vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF associated with gastric cancer recurrence after curative resection with adjuvant chemotherapy
