Background: This study aims to investigate: (a) the putative association between the presence of microcalcifications and the expression of both epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and bone biomarkers, (b) the role of microcalcifications in the breast osteoblast-like cells (BOLCs) formation, and (c) the association between microcalcification composition and breast cancer progression.
Methods: We collected 174 biopsies on which we performed immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis. In vitro experiments were performed to demonstrate the relationship among microcalcification, BOLCs development, and breast cancer occurrence.
Background: Recent studies showed a correlation between Body Mass Index and both breast cancer occurrence and progression. Nevertheless, no study reported an accurate evaluation of intra-ductal fat infiltrate. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to evaluate the putative association between intra-ductal fat infiltrate (IDFi) and breast cancer subtypes by using digital pathology.
