VEGFA and cancer: When healthy women and healthy men were pooled (93 healthy individuals), platelet VEGF ranged between 0.079 and 4.552 pg of VEGF/106 platelets with a median value of 0.7100, while platelet VEGF in 62 cancer patients (women + men) at week 0 ranged between 0.110 and 8.190 pg of VEGF/106 platelets with a median value of 1.122 (Fig. 2a).
