Whole Slide Quantification of Stromal Lymphatic Vessel Distribution and Peritumoral Lymphatic Vessel Density in Early Invasive Cervical Cancer: A Method Description

Table 1

LVD quantification in the whole cervical cancer tissue and peritumoral area assessed by the automated lymphatic vessel detection method in comparison with hot spot method described by Weidner and colleagues [12].

	Whole tissue	Peritumoral area	Hot spot
Tissue surface (mm^2)	294.91	38.21	0.6
Vessel section number	2084	463	43
LVD (vessel number/mm^2)	7.07	12.12	76.67
