Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) can promote the growth of tumor thymphangiogenesis by binding with receptor VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3. It is an important factor of tumor lymphatic metastasis. Lymphatic metastasis is the major diffusion way for non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).The over expression of VEGF-C is significantly correlated to metastasis and prognosis of NSCLC. This article rewiews the bionomics and the functions of VEGF-C in metastasis of NSCLC. Key words: Vascular endothelial growth factor C; Carcinoma,non-small-cell lung; Neoplasm metastasis
