Moreover, the lower expression in women AVs of the lymphangiogenic markers D2-40 and VEGF-C was validated by multivariate analyses after adjusting for confounding factors (OR = −0.01, p = 0.041; and OR = –79.05, p = 0.009, respectively), with a statistical trend for VEGF-D (OR = −21.54, p = 0.052) ( Table 2 ).
