with the rate of Contrast Enhancement on Dynamic Breast MRI.”
(MSc Surgical science, UCL 2005-2006) – A novel marker of lymphangiogenesis D2-40 was compared to LYVE-1. It was found to be superior to the latter at immunohistochemical detection of tumour related lymphatics. A significant correlation was found between contrast uptake on MRI and intra and peri-tumoural lymphangiogenesis (p < 0.05).
