Wnt signalling pathway is known to have a critical role in carcinogenesis and in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Upon Wnt activation, β-catenin is translocated from the membrane to the cytoplasm and nucleus, where it interacts with transcriptional activators. It has been suggested that various spindle cell lesions of the breast may harbour Wnt pathway activation. Given that β-catenin nuclear localization...
