Figure 6 Relationship between the level of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 mRNA in tumor, vascular endothelial growth factor 165b mRNA in stromal tissues and microvessel density. Twenty cases are arrayed on the X axis in ascending order of the amount of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)165b expression. A: The score of microvessel density (MVD); B: The mRNA level of VEGF165 and VEGF165b. MVD was maintained at a low level in the cases in which VEGF165b expressed in stromal tissues.
