At 44 of them the tumor was located in the colon, and for the rest in the rectum (Fig.1 contains examples for CD34 immunolabelled blood vessels in colon-A; rectum-B).

For the patients with CRC the mean MVD was 304.6/mm2 (std. dev.-65.5mm2), and for the patients with rectum cancer it was 315.2mm2 (std. dev.-88.45mm2) (Fig.2).

The mean MVD for the patients with confirmed metastasis was 314.1mm2 (std. dev.-67.74mm2) in comparison with the subgroup with no confirmed metastasis, were the men MVD was 296.6mm2 (std. dev.-56.14mm2) (Fig.3).

Pearson correlation test (r=0.5189) was used to evaluate the degree of correlation between the two strings of values. P value (<0.0001) showed a direct correlation between them (Fig.4).
