Evaluation of microvessel density and p53 expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognostic significance of microvessel density and p53 expression in pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Between 2008 and 2012, 49 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma underwent resection with curative intention.

Study of Microvessel Density and the Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors in Adrenal Gland Pheochromocytomas [PDF]
Angiogenesis (neoangiogenesis), a process of neovascularization, is an essential step for local tumor growth and distant metastasis formation. We have analysed angiogenesis status: vascular architecture, microvessel density, and vascular endothelial ...

High microvessel density determines a poor outcome in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with rituximab plus chemotherapy [PDF]
Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous disease. Gene expression profiling studies have shown that the tumor microenvironment affects survival and that the angiogenesis-related signature is prognostically ...

Prognostic value of microvessel density in cervical cancer
Background Several epidemiological researches have indicated that microvessel density (MVD), reflecting angiogenesis, was a negatively prognostic factor of cervical cancer. However, the results were inconsistent.

The relationship between angiogenesis and cyclooxygenase-2 expression in prostate cancer [PDF]
<b>OBJECTIVE</b>: To test the hypothesis that angiogenesis in prostate cancer is associated with tumour invasion and metastasis, and that this is mediated through increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression.

NEOVASCULARIZATION IN PROSTATIC ADENOCARCINOMA AS DETERMINED BY CD34: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Background: Microvessel density is one of the variables that are thought to affect the natural history of prostatic carcinoma in as much as its degree influences tumor progression including the ability of invasion and metastasis.
