VEGFA and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: High expression of VEGF-A and - C, but not of -D, was associated with a higher LVD (P=0.013 and P=0.014, respectively), a higher MVD (P<0.001 and P=0.002, respectively), the presence of lymph node metastasis (P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively), distant metastasis (P=0.010 and P=0.008, respectively) and a shorter Overall Survival (P=0.029 and 0.028, respectively).
