[Mast cell infiltration of the stroma and free heparin in the blood in breast cancer].
The study included mast cell content assay in breast cancer stroma, free blood heparin measurement and its variation versus treatment and disease outcome. In clinically unfavorable cases, tumors displayed equal levels of mast cells whatever treatment procedure (surgery, chemotherapy + surgery). However, in patients with aggressive course, mast cell concentration decreased 3-fold following surgery whereas it rose significantly after combined therapy. In clinically favorable cases, free blood-heparin level was half the one in those with aggressive course.
