"MICROVESSEL SURFACE CORRELATES WITH KI67 EXPRESSION IN EXTRAGASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOURS – A CASE SERIES"

Abstract

Introduction. Neoplastic microenvironment represents a frequently studied subject in numerous studies. Angiogenesis, as a part of it, is a prognostic factor and a therapeutic target in several neoplastic diseases. Cases presentation. We describe the angiogenetic process in a small series of extra gastrointestinal stromal tumours (EGISTs) and corelate it with the proliferation index. We retrospectively searched our institutions databases for EGIST cases. The resulting data were reviewed by two pathologists. Immu nohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to CASE SERIES
