Abstract:Prognosis is poor for the majority of AML patients, particularly the elderly and those with relapsed or refractory AML, and more effective treatment options are needed. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF) and its receptors (VEGFRs) may contribute to the pathophysiology of AML and are considered as potential therapeutic targets.
