Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major regulator of angiogenesis and its expression is increased in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to determine the expression pattern of VEGF splice variants in NSCLC and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics of tumors.
