Abstract Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly vascularized tumor. In this study, we investigated the prognostic and predictive values of proangiogenic factors in HCC patients receiving radiotherapy. Methods: Between September 2008 and December 2009, a total of 50 patients treated with radiotherapy were prospectively enrolled in this study. Serum and urine samples were collected
