The Prognostic Significance of Lymphatics in Colorectal Liver Metastases
Figure 2
Higher lymphatic vessel density (LVD) in the tumor periphery compared to tumor centre, adjacent, and distal liver. (a) Paraffin embedded section showing lymphatic vessels stained with D2-40 at the tumor periphery and centre, adjacent, and distal liver; magnified inserts of area of interest shown (×400). (b) Enumeration of lymphatic vessel counts revealed higher LVD in the tumor periphery compared to tumor centre, adjacent and distal liver ().
