Article Synopsis
- - Blood vessel invasion (BVI) serves as a significant prognostic factor in various cancers, but traditional detection methods like elastic stain are not very effective for breast cancer due to false positives related to intraductal carcinoma.
- - Researchers developed a double staining technique using Victoria blue for elastin and immunohistochemistry for collagen IV, which allows for better distinction between BVI and intraductal carcinoma components.
- - The study showed that the new detection method identified BVI in 49% of breast cancer cases and correlated significantly with poor prognosis, outperforming traditional methods that showed lower rates of detection and no significant prognostic association.
