Unknown primary tumors (UPT) are characterized by early and widespread metastasis. There is a strong indication that angiogenesis measured as microvessel density (MVD) correlates with the incidence of metastases in several solid tumors. The objective of this study was to compare MVD in liver metasta

Microvessel density (MVD) of breast cancer is widely regarded as a prognostic factor, but results from studies on the most important case series have produced conflicting results. The present study was performed with confirmatory intent to define the prognostic relevance of MVD on a series of 378 no
VEGF is an angiogenic factor with potent endothelial cell (EC) proliferative actions. Our aim was to investigate whether expression of VEGF and its receptors and EC proliferation differ between ovarian tumour types and regions of the vasculature. VEGF, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2 and EC proliferation were exam
