Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 expression in colon cancer, which as noted earlier has been associated with poorer survival (Witte et al, 2002) and has been significantly correlated with the different stages of cervical carcinogenesis (Van Trappen et al, 2003), suggesting an axis between VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 in cancer cells. Here, VEGFC is linked to cancer.
