These findings confirm the expression of VEGF-A in endometrial cancer (Doldi et al, 1996; Guidi et al, 1996; Fujimoto et al, 1998; Fine et al, 2000), although in contrast to other published reports (Fujimoto et al, 1998; Fine et al, 2000), we did not demonstrate VEGF-A mRNA in benign specimens. Here, VEGFA is linked to endometrial cancer.
