Background Tumor angiogenesis is necessary for tumor growth and metastasis, and
increasing intratumoral microvessel density (MVD) in prostate carcinoma has been shown in
several studies to be associated with increasing tumor stage. But, the relationships of
endothelial cell proliferation to intratumoral MVD, tumor cell proliferation, and Gleason's
score remain unknown in prostate carcinoma.
