Mast cell density is associated with angiogenesis and poor prognosis in pulmonary adenocarcinoma

Angiogenesis in individuals with various solid tumors has provided useful information on tumor progression and prognosis, and many examples of mast cell (MC) accumulation coupled with angiogenesis can be found in the literature.
