Objective To understand the role of placental growth factor (PlGF) in occurrence and development of tumor. Method The literatures related to biological function and research progress of PlGF in tumor in recent years were reviewed. Results PlGF was a secreted homology dimeric glycoprotein, with the regulation function on trophoblast cell, could induce inflammation reaction.It highly expressed in many tumor tissues, could promote the tumor growth and angiogenesis. The PlGF antibody treatment had a certain therapeutic effect, but it was still in clinical trials. Conclusions Although there are some disputes about conclusions on the role of PlGF in tumor, but it is obvious for the advantage in tumor treatment. With the research progress on PlGF, PlGF might be a breakthrough for tumor treatment.
