Little is known about the molecular pathways involved," scientists in Edegem, Belgium report. "Sixty-five patients were selected of whom microarray data of the tumor and H&E slides for histologic analysis were available. The growth pattern and the presence and size of a fibrotic focus were assessed. Differences in biological pathways were identified with global testing. The correlations of growth pattern and fibrotic focus with common breast cancer signatures and with...
