Effects of angiogenesis on the development of endometrial carcinoma / 中国实用妇科与产科杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo study the effects of angiogenesis on the development of endometrial carcinoma. Methods Hysterectomy specimens were stained immunohistochemically by the marker of factor Ⅷ-related antigen for endothelium vessels in normal controls, patients with endometrial hyperplasia and with endometrial carcinoma. Results The microvascular density(MVD) in tumour increased gradually from normal endometrium to endometrial hyperplasia and to endometrial carcinoma(P<0.01). MVD correlated with the mvometrial invasion, histologic grades and the stages.ConclusionMYD in endometrial hyperplasia increases. MVD can be used as a prognostic factor.
