A Pilot Study of Vasculogenic Mimicry Immunohistochemical Expression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
|
* Context.-The "de novo" formation of fluid-conducting patterns by tumor cells, termed vasculogenic mimicry (VM), is associated with increased mortality in many different solid tumors.
Objective.-To identify VM patterns in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to determine whether these patterns were associated with more rapid tumor recurrence after orthotopic liver transplantation.
Design.-Subjects included 20 patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation and were found ...
