VEGFA and inflammatory breast carcinoma: cDNA microarray results and gene expression profiling of IBC patient samples indicate up-regulation of NF-κB related cytokines and overexpression of NF-κB target genes such as IL-8 and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), signifying that NF-κB is constitutively active in IBC patients [19,20,21,22,23].
