Blood vessel and lymphatic vessel invasion in resected nonsmall cell lung carcinoma: Correlation with TNM stage and disease free and overall survival

The objective of this prospective study was to assess in 96 patients with resected nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) the prevalence of both blood and lymphatic vessel invasion (BVI and LVI) according to stage, as well as their prognostic value for disease free and overall survival.
