VEGFR2 predicts decreased patients survival in soft tissue sarcomas

Tyrosine kinase receptors showed a distinct expression pattern in soft tissue sarcomas. High expression of VEGFR2 (KDR) is significantly associated with decreased patients' survival. High VEGFR 1-3 and PDGFRB are significantly correlated with higher tumor grading. Protein signatures might be evaluated before targeted therapy to give a rationale for an eligible personalized therapy.
