We investigated the associations of three polymorphisms (-2578C/A, -1154G/A, and -634C/G) in the VEGF gene with the clinicopathologic parameters and survival of 213 patients with RCC.
In conclusion, our study presented the factors regarding the prognosis of RCC patients, and high platelet and neutrophil counts, low lymphocytes, and VEGF -2578C/A and -1154G/A polymorphisms were shown to be independent factors for a lower prognosis of RCC patients.
