Figure 4 Time course of VEGF/PLT (A and C) and VEGFR1 (B and D) levels in patients with biliary cancer. The levels were measured in each patient before and after the curative operation (A and B) or before and after the progression of cancer in size without any effective treatments (C and D). VEGF/PLT: the calculated parameter by dividing the serum VEGF values (pg/mL) by the platelet counts (×106/mL).
