Since growth and dissemination of IBC tumors require angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, which are mediated by VEGF family members VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D [31], the effects of EGCG on RNA expression of these genes was assessed next (Fig. 3A and 3B). Here, VEGFB is linked to inflammatory breast carcinoma.
