1. Expression of apocrine markers at various stages of apocrine carcinoma progression.
Expression of apocrine markers at various stages of apocrine carcinoma progression. Apocrine lesions span from apocrine metaplasia, apocrine atypia, CIS, and invasive apocrine carcinoma. The data concerning the apocrine CIS and the invasive apocrine carcinomas were derived from the IHC analysis of the six pure apocrine cancers. All other data were derived from the prospective and retrospective samples from the 93 high risk breast cancer patients. Markers in yellow are expressed already in benign metaplasias, whereas those indicated with red seem to be expressed at a later stage.
