Stromal factors have been implicated in the regulation of mammary epithelial cell behaviour, but their influence on human breast cancer is unknown. Fibroblasts were grown in monolayer cell culture from explants of benign and malignant breast tissue and normal skin. MCF7 human breast cancer cells alo

Tumors need to acquire an angiogenic phenotype for outgrowth and metastasis formation. Limited information on the angiogenic potential of specific tissues, especially human breast tissues is available. Here we describe an in vivo model, using the dorsal skin fold chamber in immunodeficient nude mice
## Abstract About twoβthirds of human breast carcinomas contain detectable levels of aromatase, the enzyme which converts androgens to oestrogens. Assessment of the importance of this enzyme to breast cancer growth has been hampered by the absence of an adequate model system. We have previously rep
## Abstract The techniques of medical imaging allow the detection of suspect lesions in the breast, but they do not always evidence the malignant nature of these lesions. Breast biopsies and histological analyses are therefore implemented to establish a diagnosis. In order to reduce the number of t
## Abstract A transferrin receptor was demonstrated in tumor tissue from 10 patients with breast carcinoma and one patient with breast sarcoma. Binding studies were conducted by measuring the amount of ^125^Iβtransferrin binding to microsomal preparations of the tumor tissue. Elevated levels of spe
