Abstract:
Invasive cribriform carcinoma (ICC) is a type of malignant tumor with slow growth and good prognosis. The study was a single center retrospective study. The percentage of ICC among patients diagnosed with breast cancer was 0.3% (8/2454 patients). All patients tested positive for estrogen or progesterone receptors and 12.5% (1/8) patients tested positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor type2 (HER2). The present study suggests that the clinicopathological features of ICC are low-grade hormone receptor-positive luminal type with a good prognosis. However, some patients were HER2-positive and require careful follow-up.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
