Role of VEGF-A and Its Receptors in Sporadic and MEN2-Associated Pheochromocytoma

Role of VEGF-A and Its Receptors in Sporadic and MEN2-Associated Pheochromocytoma

Pheochromocytoma (PHEO), a rare catecholamine producing tumor arising from the chromaffin cells, may occurs sporadically (76%–80%) or as part of inherited syndromes (20%–24%).
