We conducted a detailed study of lymphangiogenesis and subsequent lymph node metastasis in early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using immunostaining for D2-40 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C and D. The study materials included 13 samples of normal squamous epithelium, 6 samples of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), and 60 samples of superficial ESCC (M1 and M2 cancer 24; M3 or deeper cancer 36).

For better understanding cancer pathogenesis and searching a potential target for antineoplastic therapy, the authors have studied mRNA expression profile in tissues from 39 children with histological confirmed malignant sarcomas and from 23 patients with bone and soft tissue nonmalignant lesions. mRNA levels of Angiogenesis-related genes VEGFA (including isoforms of 121, 165, 189), VEGFC, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, HIF-1α, TF, TFPI-1, TFPI-2, uPA, PAI-1 in pediatric specimens were examined using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). uPA, HIF-1α, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, and VEGFC mRNA levels from nonmalignant tissue were significantly higher than those from cancer tissue.
