Role of vascular endothelial growth factor in reconstructive surgery after surgical excision of malignant tumor

摘要

As a key mediator of normal physiological angiogenesis,vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)has been regarded as an emancipator to plastic surgeon,and yet a misfortune to oncology surgeon,due to its sin-gular biological effect.Therefore in some clinical cases,especially for some malignant tumor patients having en-dured radical surgery and being craving for a reconstructive surgery,VEGF plays a role full of paradoxes.To make a clinical balance,we should find a point to inhibit tumor cell from utilizing VEGF and make a permission to normal tissues to employ it.
