Expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 in Breast Cancer and the Relation with Lymphatic Metastasis
-
Abstract
Objective The purpose of study is to determine the expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 in invasive breast ductal cancer and to explore the relationship between their expression and lymphatic metastasis. Methods Tissue sections from 60 invasive breast ductal cancer patients were examined immunohistochemically for expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 in malignant portion and adjacent normal tissue. The correlation between the expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-R3 and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Results Pos...
