Abstract

We compared serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endostatin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-β) levels in 20 patients with neuroendocrine tumors and 25 practically normal donors (control group). Mean serum VEGF, endostatin and TNF-β concentrations in neuroendocrine tumors cases were not significantly different from control. There was no relationship between VEGF, endostatin and TNF-β levels and patients, gender and age. Patients with malignant neuroendocrine tumors presented relationship between serum endostatin and TNF-β levels and tumors size. Cases with benign neuroendocrine tumors demonstrated a significant positive correlation between serum VEGF and endostatin levels, but an inverse relationship between serum VEGF and TNF-β levels. High levels of serum endostatin and (>100 ng/ml) low levels TNF-β (<30 pg/ml) may predict worse disease free survival. Longer follow-up is needed for assessment of effect on survival.
