Matriptase and Survivin Expression Associated with Tumor Progression and Malignant Potential in Breast Cancer of Chinese Women: Tissue Microarray Analysis of Immunostaining Scores with Clinicopathological Parameters

Abstract

Higher expressions of matriptase and survivin correlate significantly with clinicopathological parameters in breast cancer and the malignant potential in premalignant lesions. In addition, higher survivin expression had poorer prognosis of breast IDC cases.
