VEGF-A is the most potent angiogenic factor in tumour angiogenesis. Its effects are mediated via two receptors VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. Primary aim of our study was to examine the expression of VEGFR-1 in breast cancer and its correlation to VEGF expression, lymph node status, tumour size, histological grade, and hormone receptor status.

Materials And Methods: 50 patients with invasive ductal breast cancer and 20 patients with benign breast diseases were included in this prospective case-control study. The three-step immunohistochemical staining was used for testing the levels of IL-13 expression and hormone receptor status.
Aim: To investigate the presence and expression levels of the IL-18 in the primary breast cancer tissue in relation to the unchanged breast tissue in same patients and the breast tissue in patients with benign breast disease, as well as the correlation between the IL-18 expression levels and pathohistological factors, including the correlation between IL-18 expression and the estrogens and progesterone receptor status.
Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted at the Policlinic for Laboratory Diagnostics of the University Clinical Centre of Tuzla. 50 patients with invasive ductal breast cancer and 20 patients with benign breast diseases were included in the study.
