Spatial transcriptomics reveals gene expression characteristics in invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast
Abstract Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a special histological subtype of breast cancer, featured with extremely high rates of lymphovascular invasion and lymph node metastasis. Based on a previous series of studies, our team proposed the hypothesis of “clustered metastasis of IMPC tumo...
