Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier survival curve correlating disease specific survival with high microvessel density (MVD) or low MVD.
Figure 2 Immunohistochemical stainings of COX-2 (A, B), VEGF (C, D) and microvessels (E) in tissue sections obtained from gastric adenocarcinoma.
COX-2 was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of cancer cells (brown staining; A × 100, B × 200). VEGF expression was restricted to the cytoplasm of cancer cells (brown staining; C × 100, D × 200). Microvessels were detected in gastric cancer tissues by immunostaining for factor VIII-related antigen (E × 100).
