SOME ASPECTS OF NASAL CARRIAGE OF STAPHYLOCOCCI.

abstract：AIMS:The assessment of lymphatic vessel density (LVD) has been suggested as a tool to determine the metastatic risk of neoplasias. On this premise, the authors aimed to verify whether progression risk of stage I colorectal cancer may be related to LVD. The authors also evaluated and correlated vascular endothelial grow...
