To confirm the link between VEGF165 and sVEGFR1-i13, we took advantage of a retrospective Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) cohort in which we previously performed VEGF165, VEGFR1 and sVEGFR1-i13 immunohistochemical stainings4,19. The gene discussed is FLT1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
