Following this insight, our study aims to examine the role of VEGFA status as a predictive biomarker for the outcome of second-line therapy with Ramucirumab and paclitaxel in mGC patients. In addition, in the analyzed series, it was found that amplification was not always associated with overexpression of VEGFA, but overexpression of VEGFA correlates with high micro-vessel density. In conclusion, overexpression of VEGFA could emerge as a potential biomarker to predict the response to anti-angiogenic therapy.

BACKGROUND Glioblastomas are highly vascular tumours that overexpress vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), however the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab has not demonstrated significant overall survival benefit for patients...CONCLUSION VM contributes to a relatively small proportion of the overall vasculature in glioblastoma tumours and was not associated with OS nor the expression of PMSA. Since VM- tumours had longer OS than VM+ tumours, assessment of VM in recurrent tumours in a larger cohort may determine if there is a clinical significance for VM in recurrent glioblastoma.

GRP78 overexpression was revealed in most of the investigated samples. The positive association between VEGF and GRP78 may indicate the proangiogenic role of GRP78 in lung cancer.
