Popis: | BACKGROUND: The histological tumor grade influences the prognosis of breast cancer. In metastatic breast cancer, stromal cells produce chemokine (CXC motif) ligand 12 or stromal cell-derived factor-1 as a chemoattractant, which binds to chemokine (CXC motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) expressed by breast cancer cells. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the expression of CXCR4 in invasive breast cancer in relation to lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and lymph node metastasis. METHODS: This observational study retrospectively investigated a paraffin block archived sample diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The results of immunohistochemical staining with CXCR4 antibody and expression analysis were evaluated using light microscopy. The data were statistically analyzed using the chi-square test and presented in a table using SPSS version 18. P-values of |
