There was no correlation between lymph node status and the expression level of LYVE–1 in tumor tissues (P = 0.354) or par-cancerous tissues (P = 0.617); similar results were found for VEGFR–3 (P = 0.631, 0.738), Podoplanin (P = 0.490, 0.625), and Prox–1 (P = 0.503, 0.174). Here, FLT4 is linked to neoplasm.
