摘要: Very few studies have yet addressed the question of existence and role lymphagenesis in tumor growth; it is generally overshadowed by greater emphasis placed on blood vascular system. Monoclonal antibodies against endothelial-growth-factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) been shown to provide a specific antigenic marker for lymphatic endothelium. By comparison with microvascular count (MVC), we investigated prognostic value microlymphatic (MLC) series 60 cases 2-cm-diameter breast carcinomas. The mean MVC was 72.5 MLC, 40.5. There no quantitative correlation between these 2 parameters. but not MLC had overall survival. Neither nor any axillary-lymph-node invasion.
