Figure 4From: Evidence that molecular changes in cells occur before morphological alterations during the progression of breast ductal carcinomaGene expression behavior among samples that mimic breast cancer progression. (a) Gene expression difference between identical morphologic samples (pure DCIS and in situ component of DCIS-IDC) by analysis of variance. (b) Comparison between two groups (non-neoplastic [N] + pure DCIS and in situ component of DCIS-IDC + IDC] by quantitative RT-PCR. DCIS, ductal carcinoma in situ; DCIS-IDC, ductal carcinoma in situ with co-existing invasive ductal carcinoma.Back to article page
