Pearson's correlation coefficients for mature vessels, neovessels and cell proliferation, factors associated with poor prognosis
| Prognostic factors | Mature vasculature (α-SMA, n = 14) | Neovessels (CD105, n = 14) | Cell proliferation (Ki-67, n = 11) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tumor size | r = 0.48 (p = 0.084)a | r = 0.11 (p = 0.72) | r = 0.25 (p = 0.45) |
| Cell proliferation | r = 0.62 (p = 0.042)b | r = 0.29 (p = 0.32) | – |
| Number of mitotic figures | r = 0.76 (p = 0.001)b | r = 0.13 (p = 0.67) | r = 0.72 (p = 0.013)b |
a
Borderline significant correlation.
b
Statistically significant p value.
