Fig. 4From: Prognostic value of lymphovascular invasion in stage II colorectal cancer patients with an inadequate examination of lymph nodesThe 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates among stage II CRC patients according to lymphovascular invasion (LVI). When dividing the stage II patients into LVI+ and LVI− groups, the 5-year OS rate of the LVI+ group was greater than LVI− (79.4% vs. 61.0%, P < 0.001, a). The 5-year DFS rate of the LVI− group was greater than the LVI+ group (78.2% vs. 58.0%; P < 0.001, b)Back to article page
