['Evaluation of the relationships between increased expression of VEGF-C (vascular endothelial growth factor-C) and vessel density in the tumour-surrounding stroma, patient survival, and other conventional prognostic factors in patients with pT3-4 colon cancer.', 'Expression of VEGF-C and vessel density were immunohistochemically assessed in 104 specimens of primary, locally advanced (pT3-4) colon adenocarcinoma after surgical resection.', 'A significant relationship was found between the expression of VEGF-C and increased vessel density in the tumour-surrounding stroma (p = 0.03). A relationship between VEGF-C expression and location of the tumour in the left side of the colon was also found (p = 0.003). Expression of VEGF-C was likely to occur in well-differentiated tumours. No relationship between patient overall survival and the expression level of VEGF-C in locally advanced colon cancer was observed.'] Is vEGF-C expression a prognostic factor in locally advanced colon adenocarcinoma?
