FN1 and neoplasm: Indeed, immunohistochemical analysis in our study showed robust EDB-FN expression in the mitotic breast tumor cells, diffuse staining in the stroma, stromal fibroblasts, and fibroblasts interspersed between cancer cells, in primary tumor specimens as well as metastatic sites, with negligible expression in normal breast tissues, suggesting complex structural and functional roles of EDB-FN in the progression of malignancies.
