title: [Study on the relationship between microvascular density and prognosis in laryngeal cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the relationship between the microvascular density(MVD) and the prognosis in laryngeal cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  Microvessel quantitation in 31 cases of laryngeal cancer was done with factor VIII-related antibody and SABC method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The quantitation of microvessels in laryngeal cancer were negative of histologic grade and type, but were significantly different (P < 0.05) between metastasis (10.23 +/- 0.78) and without metastasis(6.38 +/- 0.33) two years after operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The angiogenesis of laryngeal cancer is correlated with the lymph node metastasis and prognosis.
