GRP78 is Overexpressed in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Tissues and is Associated with High VEGF Expression in Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Pilot Study.

Background: Neovascularization is essential for the growth and progression of tumor tissues. GRP78 is frequently overexpressed in various cancers and has been suggested as a proangiogenic factor.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the expression levels of GRP78 and to test for significant relationships with the angiogenic markers, VEGF, and CD31.
