Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in angiogenesis. Although the role and importance of angiogenic factors such as VEGF have been established in various solid tumors, this has not been widely evaluated in hemopoietic neoplasias. In this trial, VEGF was studied in plasm...
