Increased Expression of VEGF and CD31 in Postradiation Rectal Tissue: Implications for Radiation Proctitis
Figure 1
Representative inflammatory epithelial changes in rectal tissue in the early postirradiation period consisting of infiltration of the lamina propria by neutrophils, cryptitis, and few crypt abscesses (c, d). Additional findings were mild focal fibrosis (a–d), mild crypt distortion, and atrophy (a, b).
