Serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels correlate with tumor VEGF and p53 overexpression in endocrine positive primary breast cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis, associated with unfavorable clinical characteristics in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate different angiogenic markers in endocrine-positive breast cancer patients. The authors analyzed serum and tumor samples from 71 patients with endocrine-positive operable primary breast cancer to determine the expression and the possible relationship between circulating serum VEGF levels, tumor VEGF expression, microvessel density (MVD), and other immunohistochemical parameters. Basal VEGF serum levels were significantly higher in breast cancer patients than in healthy controls. A significant correlation was observed between basal VEGF serum concentrations, microvessel density (p = 0.01) and p53 status (p = 0.004). Intratumoral VEGF expression was significantly associated with neoplastic embolization (p = 0.041) and circulating VEGF levels (p = 0.047). The results confirm that in primary endocrine-positive breast cancer serum VEGF levels are elevated and show a positive relationship with tumor VEGF and p53 overexpression.
