Tumours were subsequently recategorised according to expression of VEGF-A and -C into four groups; group (A); tumours with low expression of both VEGF-A and -C, group (B); tumours with high expression of VEGF-A, group (C); tumours with high expression of VEGF-C and group (D); tumours with high expression of both VEGF-A and -C. The gene discussed is VEGFC; the disease is neoplasm.
