Tumor lymphangiogenesis: a novel prognostic indicator for cutaneous melanoma metastasis and survival.
Malignant melanomas of the skin are distinguished by their propensity for early metastatic spread via lymphatic vessels to regional lymph nodes, and lymph node metastasis is a major determinant for the staging and clinical management of melanoma. However, the importance of tumor-induced lymphangioge...
