Table 2 Biomarkers of CRC vascularity and growth

From: Are there biological differences between screen-detected and interval colorectal cancers in the English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme?

 

Screen-detected CRC ( n=43)

Interval CRC ( n=28)

P -value

Microvessel density (mean (s.d.) : range)

96 (7) : 0–203

95 (8) : 32–188

0.52

Proliferation index (mean (s.d.) : range)a

70.5 (2.7) : 30.7–93.1

66.5 (4.2) : 15.1–92.5

0.80

  1. Abbreviation: CRC=colorectal cancer.
  2. an=40 (screen) and n=28 (interval) for Ki-67 IHC due to lack of archival FFPE tissue.
