Fig. 2From: Correlation between lymphatic endothelial markers and lymph node status or N-staging of colorectal cancerCorrelation between lymph node status and expression levels of markers in tumor tissues or para-cancerous tissues. Status of lymph node did not influence the expression level of the four makers; no significantly different expression levels were found in tumor tissues and no obvious differences in para-cancerous tissues. (In tumor tissues: LYVE-1, P = 0.354; VEGFR–3, P = 0.631; Podoplanin, P = 0.490; Prox–1, P = 0.503; in para-cancerous: LYVE-1, P = 0.617; VEGFR–3, P = 0.738; Podoplanin, P = 0.625; Prox–1, P = 0.174)Back to article page
