VEGFA and soft tissue sarcoma: Therefore the aim was to simultaneously investigate the micro regional heterogeneity of hypoxia and glycolysis in canine cancer patients with spontaneous soft tissue sarcomas, examining the uptake and distribution of 64Cu-ATSM and 18F-FDG, their potential spatial overlap as well as their correlation to endogenous markers of hypoxia (HIF-1α, carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)), glycolysis (hexokinase 2 (HK2) and glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3), proliferation (Ki-67) and angiogenesis (vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) and tissue factor (TF)).
