The expression pattern of matrix-producing tumor stroma is of prognostic importance in breast cancer
3 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There are several indications that the composition of the tumor stroma can contribute to the malignancy of a tumor. Here we utilized expression data sets to identify metagenes that may serve as surrogate marker for the extent of matrix production and vascularization of a tumor and to characterize prognostic molecular components of the stroma. METHODS: TCGA data sets from six cancer forms, two breast...
