Immunohistochemical analysis of VEGFR-3 expression
Specimen | N Total | N High* | % samples |
---|---|---|---|
Normal + FCD | 40 | 1 | 2.5 |
ADH | 14 | 7 | 50 |
DCIS | 22 | 7 | 31 |
DCIS, ADH, FCD and normal tissue sections categorized by staining intensity (0, none; 1, borderline; 2, weak; 3, moderate; 4, strong) and percentage of cell staining positive for VEGFR-3.
Tissue sections dichotomized as High (2+ or 3+ intensity and ≥50% positive cells) or low. N Total = N Low + N High.
