The Angiogenic Activity of Ascites in the Course of Ovarian Cancer as a Marker of Disease Progression

Table 3

The correlation indices between angiogenesis index (mean number of newly formed vessels) and VEGF and IL-8 concentration determined in supernatant separated from peritoneal fluid. Description: treatment means any chemotherapy received less than 4 weeks before fluid collection and no treatment means no chemotherapy or chemotherapy received more than 4 weeks before fluid collection. The correlation indices were estimated with Pearson’s test; results statistically significant are in bold.
