Abstract:Background
Tumor lymphangiogenesis is a critical component in the progression of cancers and specific microRNAs have been reported to be implicated in this process. Recent studies revealed the involvement of miR‐1236 in lymphangiogenic signaling by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3). However, the prognostic importance of miR‐1236 and its clinical relevance for lymphangiogenesis in ovarian cancer (OC) remains unclear.
Methods
The study included 52 ovarian tumors and 28 normal ovari… Show more
