New carcinoma cell biology study findings have been reported from National Defense Medical College, Medical College

A new study, 'Histological differences between invasive ductal carcinoma with a large central acellular zone and matrix-producing carcinoma of the breast,' is now available. "Carcinoma with a large central acellular zone (central acellular carcinoma, CAC) and matrix-producing carcinoma (MPC) have been recently noted as basal-like-type breast cancers, but the two entities are often confused. To clarify their histological differences, the histopathological sections of 15 CAC and seven MPC were examined and the following features were compared by reviewing slides: (i) mode of invasion; (ii) alteration of cancer cell adhesion in the transitional area between cellular and acellular zones; (iii)...
