1 Early decrease in serum amphiregulin or vascular endothelial growth factor levels predicts sorafenib efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma. Sorafenib vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
2 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sorafenib on two growth factors implicated in autocrine loops and HCC tumour invasion: amphiregulin (AREG) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Sorafenib vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
3 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sorafenib on two growth factors implicated in autocrine loops and HCC tumour invasion: amphiregulin (AREG) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Sorafenib vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
4 It was observed that sorafenib decreased AREG, VEGF and cytokine expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Sorafenib vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
5 The decreased serum levels of AREG and VEGF after 15 days of sorafenib treatment were significantly associated with better overall and progression-free survival. Sorafenib vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
6 These results suggest that sorafenib inhibits auto-crine loops and that early decrease in serum AREG or VEGF levels predicts sorafenib efficacy in HCC patients. Sorafenib vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
