Why the study?

Does microvessel density or VEGF expression correlate with prognosis in synovial sarcomas?

Population

Design

Cohort

Discussion

Implication

Angiogenesis markers lack prognostic value in synovial sarcomas; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.

Structured PICO

Does microvessel density or VEGF expression correlate with prognosis in synovial sarcomas?

Population

n=54 primary and recurrent synovial sarcomas

Intervention

Analysis of microvessel density (MVD) and immunohistochemical expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

Outcome

Correlation between microvessel density (MVD) and clinicopathological factors, prognosis, or VEGF expressionsurrogate

Angiogenesis (measured by microvessel density) and VEGF expression do not appear to correlate with prognosis or overall survival in synovial sarcomas.
