Objective:Tostudytheexpressionofvascularendothelialgrowthfactor(VEGF)andmicrovesseldensity(MVD)inesophagealsquamouscellcarcinoma(ESCC)andclarifytheassociationofVEGFexpressionwiththeangiogenesisandprognosticvalueofthisdisease.Methods:Eighty-twocaseswithprimaryESCCtreatedwithradicaloperationinDepartmentofSurgeryfromJan1981throughMay1994wereenrolled.VEGFexpressionandMVDvaluewereexaminedbyimmunohistochemicalstaining,thestreptavidin-biotinperoxidasecomplexmethod(SPmethod),usinganti-VEGFpolyclonalantibodyandanti-Factor-VIIIantibody,respectively.WealsoanalyzedtherelationshipbetweenVEGFexpressionandMVDvalueandpostoperativesurvivalrateofpatients.Results:Ofthe82cases,63.4%casesshowedpositiveforVEGFintumorcellsandthemedianofMVDintumorwas37(9-150)·mm-2.TherewasaclosecorrelationbetweenMVDandVEGF(P=0.001).The5-yearsurvivalrateofpatientswithlowandhighMVDwas34.1%and12.2%,respectively.The5-yearsurvivalratewas46.7%inpatientswithVEGF-negativetumorand11.5%inpatientswithVEGF-positivetumor.Thesedifferenceswerestatisticallysignificant(P=0.017andP<0.001,respectively).Conclusion:InESCC,angiogenesisismediatedmainlybyVEGFandVEGFmaybeassociatedwithtumorprogressionandincreasedmalignancyviaangiogenesis.
