Table 2.

Lymphatic vessel density significantly correlates with disease recurrence.

	Tumour periphery	Tumour centre	Adjacent liver
1 year recurrence	0.014	0.007	0.007
2 year recurrence	0.050	0.028	0.034
3 year recurrence	0.009	0.080	0.097

The table summerizes the correlation of LVD in different regions to disease recurrence at 1, 2 and 3 years following resection.
