Background . Lymph node metastasis is the most common and important way of metastasis in NSCLC and is also the most important factor affecting lung cancer stage and prognosis. It is very important to analyze the relationship between the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Ki67 and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Conclusion: The expression levels of Ki67, VEGF-A, and VEGF-C show a good potential for lymph node metastasis prediction.
