PDPN and neoplasm: The presence of contact type DCs correlated with stage (gamma = 0.641; p = 0.0007), histology (gamma = 0.642; p = 0.02), grade (gamma = 0.249; p = 0.05), the depth of tumor invasion (gamma = 0.700; p = 0.00002), the phenomenon of fragmentation in the tumor solid component (gamma = 0.578; p = 0.003), and the presence of tumor emboli in CD34-positive vessels (gamma = 0.686; p = 0.00003) and podoplanin-positive vessels (gamma = 0.563; p = 0.004), as well as with the cervical cancer recurrence (gamma = 0.893; p < 0.0001).
