A new significance of LVD and angiogenic MVD is identified in human primary SCRC

A study led by Professor Xiang Du from Cancer Hospital, Fudan University, has investigated 132 cases with sporadic colorectal carcinoma and found that the detection of lymphatic vessel density and microvessel density at tumor borders may be useful in predicting metastasis and prognosis in patients with SCRC, and the co-accounting of LVD and MVD might be used as a prognostic factor of SCRC.
