OBJECTIVE To analyze the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted by tumor cells in angiogenesis of breast carcinoma using image morphometry. STUDY DESIGN Thirty-four cases of node-negative breast carcinoma were used in the study. There were 6 grade 1, 20 grade 2 and 8 grade 3 tumors. For each case, 2 consecutive sections from the same block were cut. Immunostaining for VEGF and CD31 was carried out, and areas of highest staining density were marked. Those marked "hot spots… CONTINUE READING
