Neovascularization and invasion coordinate cancer metastases in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Recently, a substantial role of placental growth factor (PLGF) in cancer cell invasion has been acknowledged in several types of cancer, whereas a possible involvement of PLGF in the metastases of NSCLC has not been studied.
