Abstract:	Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to be a potentangiogenic mitogen that plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis[1]. The correlation between the expression of VEGF and eithermetastasis or a poor prognosis has been reported for severalcancers [2]. Kurahara and colleagues demonstrated that VEGFexpression in patients with pancreatic head cancer is significantlyassociated with lymphatic metastasis and prognosis [3].
