[Expression of neuropilin 2 in human colorectal carcinoma and its correlation with lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis of tumor].

Objective: To explore the relationship between neuropilin 2 (NRP-2) and lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis of human colorectal carcinoma (CRC), as well as the expression of NRP-2 in CRC tissues.

Methods: A total of 55 cases of CRC, adjacent and normal tissues of surgical resection were randomly selected at our hospital from March 2010 to January 2012. All pathological findings were confirmed by histopathology.
