P < .001 (analysis of variance by Fisher and Kruskal-Wallis tests followed by paired Duncan [t], Bonferroni [t], and Wilcoxon tests), orP < .0001 (Mann-Whitney test) versus controls.
Microvessel area normalized to the cellular area: patients, 8.9% ± 7.6 (7.4%, 4.1%-35.8%); controls, 0.92% ± 0.1 (0.89%, 0.88%-1.52%).
