Our study also examined Cyclin D1 [40], a modulator of cell adhesion and migration linked to cancer cell invasion and metastasis; vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) [41], a central molecule in angiogenesis; and matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-9, an instrumental member of the MMP family implicated in tumor metastasis [42]. This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and cancer.
