Image: The new BRIM technology enables pathologists to identify whether a DCIS is aggressive or not. In this image of a DCIS sample, the biomarkers CD44hi/CD24lo, reveals intraductal cells of aggressive cancer that are highlighted (Photo courtesy of University of Michigan Health System).

Aggressive Breast Cancer Identified with Fluorescent Technique

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer and in DCIS, epithelial cells proliferate within ducts, which are surrounded by a double layer of myoepithelial cells and basement membranes. More...
