Abstract
Our results suggest that the microvessel density of the primary tumour may be an important independent predictor of tumour recurrence and time to recurrence in colorectal carcinomas. The significant correlation between mast cell and microvessel counts suggest that the mast cells may have a role in tumour progression via promoting angiogenesis.
