Vascular endothelial growth factor-C associated with computed tomography used in the diagnosis of XXXX of @entity150 .

@entity150 @entity1600 @entity9961 @entity5
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: @entity9961 ( @entity9961 ) has been demonstrated to stimulate the growth of lymphatic vascular endothelium. The purpose of this study is to determine whether @entity9961 associated with computed tomography (CT) has a relationship with @entity1600 in @entity150 ( @entity150 ). METHODS: One hundred twenty seven cases of @entity150 were studied: first, both plain and enhanced CT scans of abdomen and pelvis were performed preoperatively; second, @entity9961 protein expressions in @entity5 cells were tested by immunohistochemistry postoperatively; and finally, detailed pathological findings for @entity1600 were recorded. RESULTS: @entity9961 expressions in @entity5 bladder cells were significantly higher than those in normal bladder epithelium. In the group of @entity150 -positive, @entity9961 was significantly correlated with @entity1600 (p <0.01). Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of @entity9961 in the diagnosis of @entity1600 of @entity150 were 87.0, 67.9, and 74.8%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CT were 47.8, 80.2, and 68.5%, respectively. When @entity9961 visually correlated with CT scan in the detection of @entity1600 , sensitivity was 91.3%; specificity was 84.0% and accuracy was 86.6%. CONCLUSIONS: Positive @entity9961 was significantly correlated with @entity1600 of @entity150 . @entity9961 expression in biopsy specimens may be beneficial in predicting pelvic lymph nodes. It can improve accuracy when combined with CT.
