Serum VEGF has been shown to be significantly raised in patients with solid tumours and shows some promise as a potentially useful tumour marker. Serum levels of VEGF were assayed in 52 patients with untreated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and 104 healthy controls. Serum VEGF is significantly raised in patients with HNSCC (P
