Microvessel Density Quantification in Gastric Cancer: Comparing Methods for Standard Measures
The quantification of angiogenic and linfangiogenic factors has been explored in an attempt to predict the prognosis of various malignancies. In gastric cancer (GC), a promising parameter is the microvessel density (MVD). Objective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the different methods used for its quantification. Methods: 52 cases of GC were labeled by immunohistochemistry for CD34, CD105 ...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor/KDR activated microvessel density versus CD31 standard microvessel density in non-small cell lung cancer.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important angiogenic factor, linked to poor outcome in human malignancies including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We used the 11B5 monoclonal antibody recognizing the VEGF/KDR complex (R. A. Brekken et al., Cancer Res., 58: 1952-1959, 1998) to assess the VEGF expression in cancer cells and the VEGF/KDR activated microvessel density (aMVD)...
متن کاملLymphangiogenic and Angiogenic Microvessel Density in Gastric Carcinoma
The incidence of gastric cancer worldwide, and in particular in developing countries, has shown a marked increase (Inal et al., 2012). Poor prognosis of gastric cancer patients occurs due to rapid metastasis of the disease via the lymphs as well as blood in advanced stages. Previous studies have shown that lymphatic and blood vessel invasion (LBVI) is closely correlated with characteristics of ...
متن کاملCorrelations between vascular invasion, neural structures invasion and microvessel density with clinicopathological parameters in gastric cancer
Aim: Our objective in conducting this study was to estimate the presence of lymphatic, blood vessel and neural invasion on Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining and also, the microvessel density detected by immunohistochemistry (MVD), in gastric adenocarcinoma, as well as their relationship with the clinical, pathological and biological characteristics of the tumors. Materials and Methods: To asse...
متن کاملA meta-analysis of the lymphatic microvessel density and survival in gastric cancer with 1809 cases
Lymph node metastasis commonly occurs in gastric cancer. Previous studies have demonstrated that the overexpression of lymphatic microvessel density (LVD) is correlated with various malignancies. To evaluate the potential role of LVD in various malignancies, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to thoroughly investigate the association of LVD expression with tumor progression and ...
