Table 3 Comparison of the presence of LVs between metastatically involved and uninvolved LNs

From: Induction of lymphangiogenesis in and around axillary lymph node metastases of patients with breast cancer

  1. LN=lymph node; LV=lymph vessel, N0=LN negative; N+=LN positive.
  2. Uninvolved LNs are divided in LNs from N0 and N+ patients with breast cancer.
  3. P-value (metastatically involved vs uninvolved LNs) <0.001.
  4. P-value (uninvolved LNs N0 vs N+)=0.91.
