| Abstract |
Angiogenesis is an important part in tumor progression and intratumoral microvessel density (MVD) has proven a prognostic factor in several solid tumors. However, its value in prostate cancer is still unclear, especially in small biopsy samples. We evaluated the prognostic potential of MVD in a large, homogeneous cohort of prostate cancers and its correlation with other pathologic parameters. |
