Abstract Monoclonal antibody D2-40, a marker of lymphatic endothelium, identifies tumor
emboli in lymph vessels. The aim of the study was to assess whether D2-40+ lymph vessel
invasion (LVI) correlates with clinicopathologic factors including lymphovascular invasion
(LVI) as assessed by haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections (H&E+ or H&E−) and to
assess the prognostic significance in node-negative breast cancer. The study group
consisted of 303 node-negative breast cancer patients that had a median follow-up of 7.6 …
