Microvessel density (MVD) of breast cancer is widely regarded as a prognostic factor, but results from studies on the most important case series have produced conflicting results. The present study was performed with confirmatory intent to define the prognostic relevance of MVD on a series of 378 no
In 187 node-negative breast cancers, the expression of laminin receptors and collagenase IV was directly related in 52% of cases, independently of pathological (tumor size and histology) and biological (estrogen receptors and proliferative activity) features. Moreover, the presence of laminin recept
