WG Hong, Y San Ko, JS Pyo - Pathology-Research and Practice, 2017 - Elsevier
Objective The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinicopathological significance and
prognostic role of microvessel density (MVD) in gastric cancer (GC) through a meta-analysis.
Methods This meta-analysis included 4094 patients from 26 eligible studies. We
investigated the correlation between MVD and clinicopathological characteristics, including
survival rate. In addition, subgroup analysis based on microscopic magnification among
evaluation criteria of MVD was performed. Results High MVD was significantly correlated …
