Abstract Objective To evalute the relation of the expression of microvessel density and the apoptosis index;to study the relation between the expression and the cancer clinic.Methods A retrospective study was done in 32 primary liver cancer patients.To determine the expression of Ⅷ factor using immunhistochemical staining.To investigate the apoptosis index using TUNEL way.Results The expression of the microvessel density (MVD)was 30.96±12.32 in primary liver cancer.The Apoptosis index was 11.69±4.24 in primary liver cancers.Two of them were negative relevent,The relative index was-0.561.Conclusion The microvessel density playes an important role in the growth and metastasis of primary liver cancers.
Key words primary liver cancer; Microvessel density ; Apoptosis index
