VEGFC and cervical carcinoma: A report on VEGF-C levels in cervical cancer patients provides levels in serum, not plasma, and is therefore not directly comparable to our data (see the constraints above); nevertheless, in that report, after anticancer therapy the levels decreased to the level of controls, accompanied by concomitant improvement in the conditions of the patients [66], as also observed in our study in which levels decreased to those of endemic normals following doxycycline treatment.
