Apart from one dog with a histopathological diagnosis of a glial-based tumour, it is possible the remaining non-meningeal tumours in the present study exhibited lower intra-tumoural VEGF compared to meningiomas, reflecting a lower degree of tumour neovascularisation, resulting in reduced permeability and cerebral blood flow values as detected by DCE-MRI. Here, VEGFA is linked to neoplasm.
