Abstract

Aims: To identify and estimate salivary VEGF of breast cancer patients using non invasive method. Methods: ELISA, Zymography, Immunoblot. Results: We observed that saliva of breast cancer patients express appreciably high VEGF compare to non breast cancer saliva samples. Conclusion: The findings indicate salivary VEGF as a potential breast cancer marker using non invasive method.
