[HTML][HTML] Lymphatic and blood vessels in basal and triple-negative breast cancers: characteristics and prognostic significance
RAA Mohammed, IO Ellis, AM Mahmmod, EC Hawkes… - Modern Pathology, 2011 - Elsevier
Basal and triple-negative breast cancer phenotypes are characterised by unfavourable
biological behaviour and outcome. Although certain studies have examined their
pathological and molecular profile, the vascular characteristics of lymphatic and blood
vessels have not been examined. Immunohistochemical staining with podoplanin, CD34
and CD31 was used to examine lymphatic and microvessel density, as well as vascular
invasion in 197 basal-like and in 99 triple-negative breast tumours and compared against …
